Dear Liv, Carma, Lisa, Ali, Mattias and Victor –
Thank you for the info!
Sweden appears to demonstrate well designed inclusive policy (that takes into account care and parental benefits) helps achieve gender parity and support women into management positions – I wonder if the same applies to Academia/Design Research?
@Victor - I did try to sign into it and thought it looks interesting the blogs were last written in 2018 and I can’t find recent information/data unless I missed something.
RE : Sustainability definitions
How wonderful and demonstrates the clear need for multi-lingual scholarship with all the wonderful meanings that get lost in our (mainly) mono-lingual scholarship.
What will you do with these treasures of defintions?
It makes me think of Anthropologist Wade Davis:
“a language is not merely a body of vocabulary or a set of grammatical rules. It is a flash of the human spirit, the means by which the soul of each particular culture reaches into the material world. Every language is an old growth forest of the mind, a watershed of thought, an entire ecosystem of spiritual possibilities”
(NPR Alex Chadwick interview with Wade Davis, 2003)

Dear Britta and colleagues,
First of all, thank you so much for all the interesting contributions, much appreciated! Don't be shy keep them coming!
Regarding Britta's question, Coroflot platform runs a (yearly?) series of surveys related to salary, work environment vs. education, company size vs. medical benefits, and lastly gender split by specialty.
They have 74,413 participants from multiple countries and the information is really valuable.
You need an account to see the data but it is free to open one:

Hi, Britta.
There is some data about the demographics of different design fields in the
USA available at datausa.io.
The "diversity" page for graphic design
<https://datausa.io/profile/soc/graphic-designers#demographics>, for
example, indicates that the field in the USA is 52.8% female. However,
the overview
page for graphic design <https://datausa.io/profile/soc/graphic-designers>
indicates that the average salary for male graphic designers is $55,585,
and for female graphic designers, $46,317.
