SvD article on female professors at SSE
06 November, 2017
Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) today published an article concerning the ratio of female professors of economic disciplines (economics, business administration and finance) in Swedish universities.
Referring to official UKÄ statistics from 2016, SvD states that at SSE female professors constitute only 9% of 33 professors of economic disciplines (SvD chooses not include professors of law) thus placing SSE at the bottom of universities. As stated in a comment in the article, since 2016 SSE has appointed four new female professors, thereby increasing the percentage of female professors (7) in economics, finance and business administration to 21%. This is also the percentage that will become official UKÄ statistics from 2017 later this year.
