Women Professors Monitor 2024
On December 9, the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) presented the 2024 Women Professors Monitor.
Last year and the year before, we reported record-low growth rates in the share of women professors. The meager increases of 1.0 percentage point in 2021 and 0.9 percentage point in 2022 gave little cause for optimism. We sounded the alarm bells.
This year, we observe a slightly more positive development. Growth has marginally picked up. With an increase of 1.1 percentage points, the share of women professors stands at 28.7% as of the end of 2023. Encouraging trends are also visible in lower academic ranks, particularly among associate professors.
