A major paradox has developed in higher education institutions. Although participation
rate of female undergraduates has increased signifcantly, the participation of women in
academia has not increased by the same proportion. Moreover, women experience severa
challenges. This research examines the participation of academic women in higher education (HE) in Portugal and Turkey. Education statistics for these countries show that women continue to lag behind men in academia specifcally in science, mathematics, and engineering. Also education stereotyping continues; with women relegated to so-called women’s disciplines and programs in engineering, physics, and the so-called hard sciences continue to be dominated by men. This paper examines the gender efect on academic career development and the main diferences in male and female academic careers to determine the real impact of gender on the development of academic careers.
