Worldwide, discrimination against mothers based on stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding motherhood remains a major factor for women's reduced participation in the job market. In academia, mothers, especially women scientists, face negative bias that negatively affects their commitment and dedication. A survey conducted among Brazilian scientists revealed that mothers self-reported a higher prevalence of negative bias in the workplace compared to fathers, with the perception influenced by gender and career status, but not race, scientific field or number of children.
Worldwide, parenthood remains a major driver for the reduced participation of women in the job market, where discrimination stems from people's biases against mothers, based on stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding the vision of motherhood in our society. In academia, parenthood may be perceived as negatively affecting scientists' commitment and dedication, especially women's. We conducted a survey amongst Brazilian scientists and found that mothers self-reported a higher prevalence of negative bias in their workplace when compared to fathers. The perception of a negative bias was influenced by gender and career status, but not by race, scientific field or number of children. Regarding intersections, mothers with less than 15 years of hiring reported having suffered a higher rate of negative bias against themselves. We discuss implications of these results and suggest how this negative bias should be addressed in order to promote an equitable environment that does not harm women in science.
