More female researchers are moving country than ever before, yet the total number of emigrations is still lower than that of their male counterparts, research finds
If more female scientists worked outside their home nation, it could help to improve that ratio, says Xinyi Zhao, lead author of the study, which was published in February. Zhao is a PhD student who studies demographics at the University of Oxford, UK. Moving country, she says, helps female scientists to advance professionally, which could further narrow the gap between the number of female and male researchers.
Zhao and her team found that the number of published female researchers between 2013 and 2017 was nearly three times larger than that between 1998 and 2002, rising from around 0.7 million to 1.7 million.
