Women's representation in chemistry and related fields has increased over the last four decades, yet parity has not arrived and gender differentials still can be found. Analysis of the findings from ChemCensus shed light on gender issues related to the chemistry employment. This presentation will compare selected variables relating to workforce issues. Topics to be discussed include gender differences in part-time versus full-time employment, choice of work/education, sub-discipline selection, and marriage and family-life matters.
