Abstract

In the past 50 years, significant progress in women's equality has been made worldwide. Western countries, particularly European countries, have implemented initiatives to attain a more gender-balanced workforce with the introduction of family friendly policies, by trying to narrow the gender pay gap and by promoting women's career progression. In academia, however, fewer women reach top leadership positions than those in the political arena. These findings suggest that academia needs to carefully evaluate why these new policies have not been very effective. In this NeuroView, we report on the progress made in higher education, the shortcomings, and how new initiatives hold great promise for improving gender equality in academia around the globe.

摘要

在过去的 50 年中，全球范围内妇女平等取得了重大进展。西方国家，特别是欧洲国家，通过实施家庭友好政策，努力缩小性别薪酬差距和促进女性职业发展，采取了一系列举措，以实现更具性别平衡的劳动力。然而，在学术界，达到高层领导职位的女性人数却比政治领域少。这些发现表明，学术界需要仔细评估为什么这些新政策并没有非常有效。在这篇神经视野中，我们报告了高等教育取得的进展、存在的不足，以及新举措如何为改善全球学术界的性别平等带来巨大希望。
