4.1.2. Analysis of promotion opportunities
In a second step, the promotion opportunities for all statutes were analysed. Different
techniques could be used. One can simply calculate the male-female proportions within
the statutes, as done in the following illustration:
Illustration: proportion statute per sex (FTE)
In the following figure the percentage of the different ZAP statutes for the male and female ZAP
for the year 2006 at the K.U.Leuven is calculated. Within the statute of ZAP, four different grades
exist: one normally starts as an Assistant Professor, to become an Associate Professor, then a
Professor and eventually a Full Professor. The figures show that more than half of the female ZAP
are Assistant Professors or Associate Professors as opposed to less than a third of the male ZAP.
Approximately half of the male ZAP are Full Professors as opposed to one fifth of their female
colleagues.

Another way to map the vertical segregation is by calculating the Glass Ceiling Index
(GPI; see 3.2. Measurement and monitoring).
A more thorough statistical analysis is the cohort analysis. It follows one and the same
group from a certain point in time till a later moment. Within the K.U.Leuven a cohort
analysis was performed for the ATP and the same methods were used for the ZAP. As the
VRWB already performed a recent cohort analysis for the ABAP, no sufficient added
value could be generated by doing the same for the K.U.Leuven.
