Bildungsstatistische Ergebnisse der Volkszählungen der DDR 1950 bis 1981 : Dokumentation der Auswertungstabellen und Analysen zur Bildungsentwicklung
Titelübersetzung:Education statistic results of the censuses in the GDR between 1950 and 1981 : documentation of the evaluation tables and analyses relating to the development of education
Quelle: Berlin (Studien und Berichte / Max-Planck-Institut für Bildungsforschung, 69), 2001. 373 S.
Inhalt: Die vorliegende Dokumentation ist im Rahmen des Projekts "Strukturwandel des Schulsystems in der SBZ/DDR 1945 bis 1989. Datenhandbuch zur Bildungsgeschichte" entstanden. Sie fasst Ergebnisse der DDR-Volkszählungen 1950, 1964, 1971 und 1981 zusammen, wobei jeweils nach der bildungssoziologischen Relevanz der Daten gefragt wird. Ausgewählte Analysen für die einzelnen Zählungen beziehen sich auf die Bevölkerung nach Bildungsstand, den Bereich Bildung und Erwerbstätigkeit sowie den Themenkomplex Heiratsmuster, Erwerbstätigkeit der Frauen und Kinderzahl. Abschließend werden Möglichkeiten und Probleme eines Vergleichs mit Ergebnissen der Volkszählungen in der Bundesrepublik erörtert. Exemplarisch wird ein solcher Vergleich für die Entwicklung der Abiturientenquoten und den Anteil der Personen mit Hochschulabschluss vorgenommen. (ICE)

Women in higher education in Europe : a statistical overview
Autor/in:
Mischau, Anina
Quelle: International journal of sociology and social policy, Vol. 21 (2001) No. 1/2, S. 20-31
Inhalt: "Looking back it becomes obvious that in most European countries (and this is true
for non-European countries too) the world of academia was a purely male world. Access
to higher education was restricted exclusively to men, and faculties at the universities
were completely dominated by men. For a long time women described the development
of universities and the situation of women in higher education as a history of discrimination
and conscious exclusion of women by men. Nowadays, academia is not a male world anymore.
Nevertheless, we still discover inequality between men and women in higher education.
The following paper is focused on questions like: How does the situation of women
at universities look like in Europe? What does inequality mean today? How has this
situation changed in recent years? Which national measures to improve the situation
of women have been initiated in recent years, and have they proved to be successful?
As an overview, some of these questions should be answered in a comparative way for
selected countries in Europe. At certain points some remarks will be given on the
situation in Germany, the country from which the author comes and the structure and
development she knows best." (author's abstract)|
Higher education in Sweden : between 'rolling reforms' and stable patterns

Inhalt: "Both gender equality and education policy are important priorities on the political agenda in Europe. The Research and Training Network 'Women in European Universities' focuses on higher education and women's career-perspectives in systems of higher education of seven European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom). The main focus of the project is to explore the 'glass-ceiling' that women meet when they chose a career in academia and strive for top rank positions such as professorships. As a first step in our research, it is important to understand the different systems of higher education, as well as recent changes and challenges to women in academia. This contextual analysis is one result of the first phase of the research project and shall provide information about the Swedish system of higher education. The Swedish system of higher education underwent fundamental changes in both organisational form and ideological practice during the last thirty years. Especially the three reforms in the 90's gave the higher education system in Sweden a new face: They gave more weight to management structures, fixed-term contracts and focused more on an Anglo-American model of higher education than on the 'old' Humboldtian model. The reforms brought important changes for the Swedish system of higher education, but certain patterns remain untouched. One can still find the 'hidden binary system' within university colleges representing institutions to undergraduate education and universities that offer post-graduate education and research. And to a certain extent, this builds the ground for the remaining persistence of sex-specific divisions in both fields of study and different posts on the academic career ladder." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Although there is continuous progress towards gender equity within the Higher Education (HE) sector in Europe, when it comes to positions of authority women academics still face the reality of either the 'glass-ceiling', preventing them getting to the top, or the 'stone floor', keeping them at the bottom. The scientific aim of The European Research Training Network 'Women in European Universities' (WEU), sponsored by the European Commission, is not only to assess the professional status of women in academia, still one of the fields of social inequality, but also to analyse the main reasons for women's under-representation in top rank positions in European Universities. It seems essential in understanding such a study to have in mind a clear picture of the systems of HE in each of the participant countries, (Austria, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom), and that is the purpose of this 'Contextual Analysis'. The main aim of this training paper is to provide an overview of the United Kingdom's national system of education, with special emphasis on the HE sector, as a first step in our attempt to identify 'best practices', which later will contribute to a comparative analysis among the seven countries. The paper is divided into five main sections. After a brief historical introduction, a description of the structure of the education system is provided, with the main focus on Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), legal status, management and funding. The objective of the research project is to detect possible barriers and/ or 'women friendly' measures, within the educational system, since they might influence women's career pattern. Thus, the second section focuses on the description of the qualifications needed to be grade for a research or teaching position in a HEI. To shed further light on the topic, the current issues of the political debate are identified and specific trends towards marketisation and commercialisation emphasised. Although a further statistical analysis will be provided in the next training paper, to round out the paper and enhance the picture given, some figures are provided through the paper and in section four. Finally the conclusion highlights some strengths and weaknesses within the HE system in the United Kingdom (UK) which we expect to be of decisive significance for the subsequent research papers of the project."

Female engineering faculty at U.S. institutions : a data profile
Herausgeber/in:
National Research Council -NRC- Committee on Women in Science and Engineering -CWSE-
Quelle: National Research Council -NRC- Committee on Women in Science and Engineering -CWSE-; Washington, 2001. 56 S.
Inhalt: Several federal agencies asked the National Research Council to document the participation of women engineers in academic institutions within the United States by creating a directory that can be used to announce programs and other formal communications. In response, the NRC compiled a list of approximately 1,300 women faculty in engineering departments in the United States and conducted a survey to gather additional information about their status and careers. This resulting databook provides information on the race/ethnicity, degrees held, employment history, primary work activities, and tenure status of the nearly 800 women faculty members who completed the survey. In addition, it summarizes their responses to questions about experiences with mentoring, factors contributing to career decisions, and satisfaction with current employment.
