<i>Girls just wanna have funds and job stability in dementia research</i> : A cross‐sectional worldwide survey exploring gender differences in career motivations, satisfaction, perceived challenges and retention
The high proportion of ECDRs considering leaving threatens dementia research progress. Women are more likely than men to consider leaving; with more female than male dementia researchers claiming their career progress and retention is disadvantaged by insufficient job availability, security, funding and work-life balance. Targeted efforts to lessen these barriers will be essential for equitable representation and enhanced dementia research outcomes.
