The article is poorly worded - I misunderstood it initially - but their metric does appear to measure that. It measures how many "likes" a career got from women, and how many women actually work in it. It does not show the absolute number of likes or people working, but the proportion of women out of both.
- nickff 11y agoYou are correct, and I did misunderstand the writing initially. I would still like to see the raw numbers for interest, credentialling, and employment for each gender, but it appears the author tried to boil down the data and make it more easily understood.
- brighteyes 11y agoI am also worried about normalization. Perhaps men like more careers overall, for example? Seeing the raw numbers would clarify if that is a confounding factor or not.
