Gender in Science and Engineering Faculties: Demographic Inertia Revisited
The under-representation of women on faculties of science and engineering is ascribed in part to demographic inertia, which is the lag between retirement of current faculty and future hires. The assumption of demographic inertia implies that, given enough time, gender parity will be achieved. We examine that assumption via a semi-Markov model to predict the future faculty, with simulations that...
متن کاملBehavioral science, engineering, and poetry revisited.
Forty years ago, Lehrman (1971) identified 2 orientations to the study of animal behavior. The natural history orientation conducted field and lab research designed to reveal how animals cope with the circumstances of their natural environment. Such research reveals the diversity among different types of animals and differences between the world of animals and the world of humans (i.e., "poetry...
متن کاملDemographic Transition Revisited: Low Fertility, Socioeconomic Development, and Gender Equity
While new empirical findings and theoretical frameworks provide insight into the interrelations between socioeconomic development, gender equity, and low fertility, puzzling exceptions and outliers in these findings call for a more all-encompassing framework to understand the inter-play between these processes. We argue that the pace and onset of development are two important factors to be cons...
متن کاملGender Differences and Achievement in Computer Science and Engineering
This study focuses on gender differences at University level of education regarding with Computer Science and Engineering (CS&E). For this reason, 1957 diplomas of Computer Engineers were studied. These diplomas have been taken through a 21 year period of time at the Computer Engineering and Informatics Department (CEID), University of Patras, Greece. In particular, the data of these diplomas w...
متن کاملLeaks in the pipeline: separating demographic inertia from ongoing gender differences in academia.
Identification of the causes underlying the under-representation of women and minorities in academia is a source of ongoing concern and controversy. This is a critical issue in ensuring the openness and diversity of academia; yet differences in personal experiences and interpretations have mired it in controversy. We construct a simple model of the academic career that can be used to identify g...
