Cinsiyet eşitsizliği, toplumların en büyük sorunlarından biri olup akademik kariyerin önündeki en büyük engeldir. Kadınlar yüksek akademik pozisyonlarda yeterince temsil edilmemektedir. Kadınların yeterince temsil edilememesinin nedeni hiyerarşide erkeklerin daha üstün olmasıdır. Akademide toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliklerinin azaltılmasındaki önemli gelişmelere rağmen, yeni yönetim biçimleri, akademik işgücü piyasalarının değişen yapıları ve yeni kariyer geliştirme kalıpları, erkekler ve kadınlar için yeni eşitsizlikler yarattı. Bu çalışma, cinsiyet eşitsizliğinin kadınların kariyer engellerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır.

Barriers to Women’s Academic Career Progression: Gender Inequality

Öz

Among the major problems societies face, gender inequality is the biggest barrier to academic career progression. Women are underrepresented in higher academic positions. The reason why women are underrepresented is that men are hierarchically superior. Despite significant advances in reducing gender inequalities in academia, new forms of governance, the changing structure of the academic labor market and new patterns of career development have created new forms of gender inequality. This study was planned to determine the impact of gender inequality on the barriers to women’s career progression.
