Museums as a pink-collar profession: the consequences and how to address them [Recurs electrònic] / Gender Equity in Museums Movement
Publication details: [S.l.] : GEMM, 2019Description: 5 p. : digital, fitxer PDF (343,47 Mb)Online resources: Summary: In 2018, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 49.5-percent of U.S. museum staff are womeni, a decrease of less than half a percentage point from its recent high of 50.1-percent in 2017. While nationally the field is precariously gender balanced, women dominate specific museum departments -- HR and development, for example -- as well as positions in education and conservation. In many smaller museums, women make up the entire workforce. If the overall workforce numbers continue to grow, even at a modest 2-percent per year, in a decade women will quickly constitute 70-percent of the national museum workforce. Given the overwhelming majority of women currently in museum studies graduate programs, as well as the field's junior ranks, a scenario where women constitute a majority of the workforce is highly likely, promising long-term effects for the field, not all of them positive.
