DESCRIPTION:Prof. Aldo Geuna\, University of Torino\n"Moving Out of Academ
 ic Research: The gender gap in science in Japan"Abstract:\nWomen are globa
 lly underrepresented in science\, technology\, engineering and mathematics
  (STEM) researcher careers. Among the major players of STEM research\, Jap
 an is marked by the largest gender gap. This study examines in particular 
 the role played by network and reputation in the process of exit from an a
 cademic research career for female researchers. Based on cohort analyses o
 f STEM PhD graduates in 1984-2004\, this study finds 1) the overall gender
  gap has been slightly narrowed since the 1980s due to females’ increasi
 ng PhD enrollment\; 2) among other fields thegap has actually increased in
  science\; 3) the gap is particularly noticeable in prestigious universiti
 es\; and 4) a researcher career is more gender-biased than a teacher caree
 r. Focusing on a single cohort of PhD graduates in the 1980s\, it also fin
 ds 5) women were more likely to exit researcher careers than males before 
 achieving entry positions\; and 6) women had to wait longer for promotion 
 to senior positions.
