Female researchers as % of total researchers, now with non-EU members

  1. Oh no, another one of these maps with clearly faulty methodology and different countries using different definition of researcher.

  2. If you turn the image upside down The Netherlands is not only above Finland, but above all of Europe! /s

  3. I don’t know how correct the numbers are but as a female researcher from Germany it really doesn’t surprise me at all. Academia can be brutal in your family life and especially on women. But personally for me, one of the most problematic things here is most offers from the universities being short term contracts, not to mention the fact that you likely have to move out to different cities all the time. It feels awful and any career break, such as maternity leave, will make you face a huge disadvantage. Science loses so many amazing women researchers because of this current system and it’s sad.

  4. Yeah, another shitty map where Georgia is deliberately excluded, because apparently, Turkey is Europe and Georgia is Oceania. Anyways, in Georgia, 52.4% of researchers in development and scientific institutions are women(2019 stats).

    So we’d be number 1 on this map.

  5. Funny how the Balkans have more “gender equality” that the west modern counties.

  6. Is there a list of jobs where gender equality is desired? I’m assuming it is okay a majority of men in jobs with a high rate of deaths, accidents or calamities.

  7. Don’t worry, Balkans are not ahead. It’s just that there are very few people interested in the field because it’s not a priority and there’s no money in that. It’s not a badge of honor, it’s the exact opposite. If we had 0 researchers we would have had a 50-50 split.

  8. Not sure how they have count/meassure this, but I think most male researchers from East Europe are going to West and North Europe. Usually because of higher-ranked or popular universities or academies.
