Research in Outdoor Education

The study analyzed women's employment rates from 62 outdoor organizations to determine women's repĀ­resentation in the outdoor field. Statistical analysis revealed that women were under-represented in outdoor organizations at the executive and management levels using a proportionality standard. Additionally, women reported lower salaries and higher gender-based discrimination occurrences than their male counĀ­terparts.
