| Tiivistelmä: | Women have been disadvantaged within the academic profession due to its gendered nature. It has sometimes been alleged that temporary contracts may create opportunities for women and that women exhibit a stronger preference for such contracts than men. Recently, there has been a sharp rise in the proportion of academic staff employed on fixed term contracts in UK universities. It is examined here, whether the consequence of this has been to create a bridge for women, leading into and upwards within the profession, or a trap. New empirical evidence is used to show that segregation is decreasing slowly, but not because of fixed term contracts, and that fixed term contracts create traps and profound disadvantages for bot sexes. |
