Abstract

In this paper, we raise the question of gender differences in the geographic mobility of young researchers. We try to answer to three main questions regarding the international mobility of young researchers during the post-doc period: Are there differences among genders? Does “family” have an impact? Is the effect of family related variables similar among genders? With a French survey, we find that if postdoc is as common for women as for men, females are less mobile internationally, especially in direction of the United States. The impact of the “family” on the probability of taking a postdoc position and on the location of postdoc is different among genders. Married women take less frequently such appointments and, when they do so, they are less mobile internationally. There are no similar effects for males.
