Leaky Pipeline at the OVGU

In science, the term "Leaky Pipeline" refers to the decline in the proportion of women with each further qualification level (cf. Blome 2013 et al., pp. 55-56). In the STEM field, this phenomenon occurs particularly drastically (cf. GWK 2018/2019, p.14). Possible reasons for this are:

structural discrimination
lack of visibility
lack of networking and support from superiors
incompatibility of family and scientific career (especially in the post-doc phase)

This "Leaky Pipeline" is also found at Otto von Guericke University when looking at the proportion of women by status group.
