Men constitute 11 per cent of
Scotland’s nursing workforce,
yet they make up 27.6 per cent
of senior management.
Major research into gender
and nursing career progression
completed at Edinburgh Napier
University last year explored
the hypothesis that women’s
career trajectories put them
at a disadvantage.
The research was conducted in
two phases. The first involved a
quantitative analysis of the work
patterns of 65,781 nurses in
Scotland between 2000 and 2008.
Gender, employment grades,
number and length of career
breaks, length of service, age,
working patterns, and number
and age of dependent children
were examined to identify the
factors that influence women’s
career outcomes.
