AAUW Research Reports
Text Box: In 1885, a group of AAUW members conducted a survey that debunked the popular theory that higher education was bad for women's health. That first study established AAUW's commitment to cutting-edge research relevant to the struggle for gender equity in school and in society. Today, the AAUW Educational Foundation conducts groundbreaking research that draws national attention to issues of gender equity in education and the workplace; influences policy-makers as well as educators, parents, and students; and, Text Box: most importantly, serves as a catalyst for action. Recent reports address topics such as the pay gap between men and women, economic security of older women, sexual harassment on college campuses, and gender equity in science and engineering education. As part of AAUW's philanthropic mission, reports are made available at the lowest cost possible. Recent reports are available in PDF form for free download. You can also purchase the published versions of research reports at "ShopAAUW" on the AAUW website. AAUW members receive an additional 10 percent Text Box: discount. Research is published by the AAUW Educational Foundation unless otherwise indicated.
