Exploring the country differences by different academic disciplines (grouped in categories by a control on the Web graphic) is interesting. It seems to show that the male preponderance is much greater in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines than in humanities disciplines, which is not a big surprise. Countries vary in their proportions of students pursuing each academic discipline, so a country with a lot of STEM Ph.D. holders will skew to showing an especially big disparity favoring males.
- davidgay 12y agoThere's at least two countries, Bulgaria and Turkey, where there isn't any significant discrepancy in the rate of male vs female PhDs between the "Non-Science" and "All Science & Engineering" categories. Probably other countries too, but I didn't attempt a systematic check.
