This thought-provoking study of academic job markets over the next
quarter century uses rigorous analysis to project substantial
excess demand for faculty starting in the 1997-2002 period.
Particularly severe imbalances are projected in the humanities and
social sciences. Contrary to popular impressions, however, these
projected shortages are not caused by any unusual "bunching" of
retirements. The authors' discussion of factors affecting the
outlook for academic employment includes information on changes in
the age distributions of faculties, trends in enrollment, shifts in
the popularity of fields of study, changes in the faculty-student
ratio, and the continuing increase in the time spent by the typical
graduate student in obtaining a doctorate. This work will appeal to
a broad audience. It will be essential reading for those who are
responsible for determining the size and character of graduate
programs in universities, for aspiring academics who are looking
for a sense of their job prospects, for college and university
faculty members and administrators who must recruit new colleagues,
and for those interested in the federal role in higher education.
Originally published in 1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
