1 小时 23 分钟Welcome to the LSE Events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
Alright, hello everyone.
It's wonderful to be here and to see so many of you.
men and women, because I'm more used to when I give these talks, it's usually women.
So it's really nice to see men as well in the audience.
So my talk today is going to be centered around the theme of why economics needs women.
And I'm going to give you some numbers,
and hopefully we'll leave the presentation thinking about, yeah.
that economics does indeed need women and diversity more generally.
So this is the latest data from...
from HISA.
So it collects all the data from all academics and students in the UK.
And there's a lot of information here.
This is from the Royal Economic Society's latest report on Women in Economics.
But there are two things that I want you to focus on.
One is the bottom the bottom bit where we can see the leaky pipeline, right?
So these are 36.5% are the amount of lecturers that are women when they enter academia.
It goes down to 26.3% when they move on to senior lecturer or reader.
or associate professor, depending on the scale that you use.
