To the top in higher education: the case of the Netherlands

Abstract

Looks at the position of women in the Netherlands. Considers the opportunity of women to participate in the labour market before concentrating on the Dutch education system from a gender perspective. Concludes that although half of the student population is female, women are still under‐represented in responsible positions at university and therefore, despite some breakthroughs, much remains to be done.
