Determinants of Underrepresentation of Women in Aviation Education

Abstract

This analysis will study demographics regarding women aviation pilots/educators to ascertain the past, present, and future participation of women in all aspects of the aviation field. This review of women in aviation in general is necessary to establish the interest and participation of women in aviation. Other areas of literature that will be used include data on women entering male dominated fields such as engineering, business, education, etc. Comparisons of how women enter these male dominated fields versus aviation will be made.
