Europe's edge

摘要

The survey confirms that Europe has some work to do to pay women scientists fairly, and to pay all its scientists competitively.rnThat said, overall, researchers seem to be contented people whose job satisfaction is based on more than just salary levels. Social-security issues - such as health-care benefits, pension schemes, working hours, vacation time and parental leave - score significantly lower as motivators than do scientific independence and guidance by colleagues and supervisors.
