Chapter

Abstract

The range of issues to be addressed in a chapter concerned with “employment” is extensive enough to warrant an entire book just on this topic. For the present, though, we have selected some areas that are of particular significance to women scientists. They are:

  • Relative numbers of women scientists in academic, governmental, and industrial research organizations

  • Part-time scientists

  • Kinds of underemployment

  • Unemployment
