Number of Doctoral Degrees Awarded in Sociology Since 1966 by Gender
Summary:
The number of women receiving PhDs in sociology has grown steadily since 1966. In contrast, the number of degrees awarded to men has declined steadily after a growth spurt from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s. This gap, however, narrows after 2007 when the number of PhD recipients declined overall.
