Is it only at someone's request that current (06-07) stats would then be posted at that site ? I would have thought that the stats would be posted as a matter of course, but that doesn't appear to be the case, alas.

You'd have to check earning statistics country by country, but I think you'll find many women do not earn as much as men (And so cannot qualify for HSMP).SYH wrote:I find it interesting the proportion of women compared to men who are applying under HSMP.
I think it is a bit more complex than that as it has been documented that women earn 2/3rds of what men earn for the same job, systemic discrimination.EdgeHillMole wrote:You'd have to check earning statistics country by country, but I think you'll find many women do not earn as much as men (And so cannot qualify for HSMP).SYH wrote:I find it interesting the proportion of women compared to men who are applying under HSMP.
Now HSMP is no longer weighted on experience, women are being evaluated on salary (2/3rds of men's) + education + age. So if women did gain any improvement in score based on experience, it is now gone under the new HSMP rules.SYH wrote:In any case, as the hsmp applications are weighted it isn't solely dependent on salary as education and experience slightly improves the imbalance even though in those areas women have been disadvantaged too
Exactly, but the statistics are based on the former system.EdgeHillMole wrote:Now HSMP is no longer weighted on experience, women are being evaluated on salary (2/3rds of men's) + education + age.

And in many of the countries represented in the data, women are expected to stay close to home to care for their aging parents, or to get married and have children relatively young. Women may also be discouraged from obtaining a university degree because their parents may believe that only men need to be highly educated. All those factors can severely limit women's economic and geographic mobility.EdgeHillMole wrote:but I think you'll find many women do not earn as much as men (And so cannot qualify for HSMP).
