(Council of Graduate Schools, Statista)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>13 Oct. 2018. We don&#8217;t keep track of the number of male and female researchers on Science &amp; Enterprise, but it seems that the number of women we report on increased in the past few years. The impression seems to be supported by a chart this week from our friends at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/chart\/15685\/doctoral-degrees-awarded-by-broad-field-and-gender-in-the-us\/\">Statista<\/a>, taken from new report by the <a href=\"https:\/\/cgsnet.org\/first-time-enrollment-holds-steady-application-counts-slightly-decline-us-graduate-schools\">Council of Graduate Schools<\/a>, this weekend&#8217;s infographic. Those data show more women than men receiving doctorate degrees in the U.S. in the 2016-17 academic year.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, women represent 53 percent of PhD degrees granted compared to 47 percent for men. Among science and engineering degrees, women received a majority of doctorates in health sciences (70%), social and behavioral sciences (61%), and biological and agricultural sciences (53%). In other so-called STEM fields, however, men still lead in engineering (77%), mathematics and computer science (75%), and physical and earth sciences (66%).<\/p>\n<p>In other fields we follow, business degrees are split about evenly between the genders, and women received more doctorates in education by more than a 2-to-1 margin.<\/p>\n<p>Science &amp; Enterprise returns with its regular editorial posts on Monday, 15 October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 *<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those data show more women than men receiving doctorate degrees in the U.S. in the 2016-17 academic year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34823,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[86,64,105,129,26],"class_list":["post-34822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hiringlayoffs","tag-engineering","tag-life-sciences","tag-physical-sciences","tag-statistics","tag-university"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34822"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34822\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34824,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34822\/revisions\/34824"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/technewslit.com\/sciencebusiness\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
