Guess I’ll have to read the UNESCO report and found out.
Social studies have long showed that egalitarian societies and where women can choose freely without parents’ pressure and money as the biggest parameter for their choice, they choose very different than males.
For example, the vast majority of nurses in Sweden are female and the majority of doctors, while there are very few female scientists and engineers, pretty much STEM in general.
This is despite the fact that companies want females in these fields. I get 1 female application out of 30.
Instead of downvoting me, you might want to cite scientific journals on the topic? This is not my opinion. It’s what the humanities say. I wish things were different, but that is not reality at the moment. Thanks.
Where is Kosovo 🇽🇰 in map
My university in Croatia has significantly more women in leadership positions. I think this is because most of those women actually earned their positions. This was not imposed by some gender equality regulations.
It would be great if the rest of society was like this.
Oh, so that’s why Germany is so good at science.

This is a terrible map, what even counts as a “researcher” here? Do I count because I am a lab technician that analyses data and send it to my bosses who compile it and make broader statements to our customers about their products leading to the development of new medical drugs? At which point in Thai alder that is clearly research would one count a “researcher”. I dislike this map incredibly, because it doesn’t say which fields, who and what requirements it counts.
It would also be nice to see a distinguishing number between younger and older generations to see why we have these numbers, I would bet for most Anton’s these numbers get higher the younger you go.
And to top it all of many research projects ah e already shown that the mor equal a society the less likely women will go into stem research, the biggest research part, if money isn’t a concern. Why? Because only the most extreme thing orientated people will like research in stem, and women are on average a little less thing orientated than men, which leads to huge differences at the extremes, so the more equal a society the lower this number should be (to a degree of course I don’t know the exact ratio you get at the end but it’s below 50% and by a bigger amazing than most people who want “equality” like to accept).
As if albania has researchers lol
Confounded by age.
Western countries had substantially larger academic sector in previous decades. Science also tended to be male dominated in those times. A result is lots of older male researchers still being around in Western countries while the gender balance among young researchers is roughly the same as in Eastern Europe.
In my home country, women are 70% of STEM graduates. My research lab in the Iranian university was called girls’ highschool. While here in Germany I am the only female creature in the history of our group and the only woman in the floor. I regularly attend conferences in which I’m the only woman there in addition to ppl who serve coffee and snacks. The only advantage is having the whole bathroom for myself. I even hanged my towel and put my own soap there. And no one touches it. If only there was a shower too.
Why this divide?
This colour scale threw me off, i expected baltics to be female dominated bit its just equal 🥲
Is this of the researchers that work in the country or researchers that have that nationality? Western europe attracts a lot of researchers from outside the region so I wonder if there is a difference.
It’s 2023 and people still out here using wrong maps. Where’s Kosovo?
“Researchers” is such a vague categorisation that it is pretty useless.
Scientific resarch, marketing research or onlyfans “research”?
Common Macedonian W
Well done North Macedonia 👏🇲🇰
What’s the difference?
What is interesting is that most of the teachers both in schools and academia as well as most university graduates **in Poland** are female and then still they are only a third of researchers. I wonder why.
now show how much money is invested into research in said countries, and how successful the published papers are. you will be SHOCKED.
I guess the pay difference is similair.
Shouldn’t we allow people to do what they are best at and what they want instead of measuring weird genders percentages?
You can feel westerners with xenophobic explanations incoming.
There might be correlation between female share in research and relative salaries of researchers (countries that pay relatively well for researchers should have bigger share of male researchers, assuming stereotype of male-breadwinner is prevalent).
Comme si l’UNESCO pouvait produire des statistiques fiables ! C’est une blague.
Balkan was always a strongest pillar of a true western civilisation
Actually in Sweden there is a larger amount of females than males going to the University, but this probably is a major problem, the other thing is not.
We in the balkans are treating women properly.
Because 50% of women are managers and higher up positions here. Not that BS western EU + USA. Succcit
It differs heavily by field as well. Like in my field (Biotechnology in NL) around 65% are women.
I’m curious to know if in some of the countries more balanced (near 50%) there are less men pursuing a research career, or really more women are choosing research. Or maybe both.
Tfw Balkan is more progressive than the hailed west

Hello fellow Western Europeans
Further proof of Balkan superiority
First time the Netherlands is at a bottom of a list?
No equality in the Western Europe.
In the Balkans there are no women, everybody knows it.
Those female researchers are probably just lookalike.
Once again, the Netherlands disappoints
We all know that in Balkan, woman is boss.
You can bet this map wont get tons of upvotes like the rest
Further proof Portugal is just lost on the map
I’m wondering how much of this is related to the types of fields that are represented in those countries.
It’s well known that the gender split varies depending on the field. [https://www.digital-science.com/blog/2019/01/gender-representation-in-uk-research-institutions/](https://www.digital-science.com/blog/2019/01/gender-representation-in-uk-research-institutions/)
