Leaky Pipeline

The leaky pipeline shows the gender ratio along the academic career. While women outnumber men when they enter university, the ratio reverses at the professorship level. Because the university does not succeed in maintaining the proportion of women in higher positions, this is figuratively referred to as a leaky pipeline, which loses more of its contents with every meter.
