Gender gap: Women represent two-thirds of doctorates, but hold only one-third of academic jobs

Women today represent two-thirds of all Canadian doctorates in archaeology, but only one-third of Canadian tenure-stream faculty.

The current COVID-19 pandemic is likely to exacerbate these existing inequalities.
