Abstract: Weck‐Hannemann (2000) has argued that the sciences differ in the opportunity costs of temporary leave for child raising, determining the fields which women choose for their academic careers. This article argues that this point should be supplemented by other explanations which are at least as plausible as Weck‐Hannemann's reasoning. Specifically, it is shown that women are discouraged to a lesser extent than men by the uncertainty of the prospects of finally becoming a tenured professor.
