#underrepresentation — Public Fediverse posts

WorldPop's Andy Tatem and Jessica Espey report on the growing global crisis in #population data in The Conversation. Please share across your networks 📨

"When people vanish from #data, they vanish from #policy. When certain groups are systematically undercounted – often #minorities, #rural communities or #poorer people – they become invisible to #policymakers. This translates directly into #political #underrepresentation and inadequate resource allocation."

#Workers who are #neurodivergent or have other #disabilities are already prone to facing barriers, but Ms. Campbell’s experience highlights another barrier that emerges when the language used in #JobAds inadvertently weeds out #PeopleWithDisabilities.

This likely contributes to the persistent #underrepresentation of people with disabilities in #Canada’s work force.

#Queer #Cambridge #professor on why a lack of #diversity is ‘#unhealthy for #science'

The #STEM #industries – especially in #academia – are often associated with #underrepresentation for #minoritygroups. While there have been active steps to include #visibility for #women, #racial and #ethnic #minorities, the #LGBTQ+ community remains largely #ignored.

Sometimes I do refuse to attend events if I know beforehand no women is going to present. #underrepresentation #womeninSTEM #womeninML

#introduction

Moved here from mstdn.social. I'm a #Phd Candidate in #philosphy at the University of Maryland, College Park. Currently studying #voting and #underrepresentation alongside a growing interest in #austrianeconomics.

On the side, I post TikToks about #running, especially as a heavier individual. You can find my vids on running @thesoundofeffort on Instagram and TikTok!
