Elsevier ziet opmars van vrouwen in wetenschap

Het aandeel vrouwelijke wetenschappers groeit, meldt wetenschappelijke uitgeverij Elsevier in de aanloop naar Internationale Vrouwendag op 8 maart. Maar van volledige gendergelijkheid is voorlopig geen sprake. Alleen in Argentinië is er evenwicht: 51 procent van de onderzoekers is er vrouw. In Japan kost het vrouwen de meeste moeite om ertussen te komen: daar blijven ze steken op 15 procent.

In Nederland is, zoals bekend, een inhaalrace gaande. Twee decennia geleden was slechts een kleine twintig procent van de Nederlandse wetenschappers vrouw, stelt Elsevier. “In de afgelopen jaren steeg dat aandeel naar zo’n 33 procent.” Dat is net onder het Europese gemiddelde van 36 procent. (HOP)
