Abstract

This paper aims to explain the relationship between family formation and the career rhythms of female lecturers. The sampling technique is cluster sampling, followed by the stratified random sampling technique. This study selected a sample of Universitas Diponegoro (Undip). The sample size calculation uses the Krejcie and Morgan technique. The number of respondents this study was 156 from 633 female lecturers of Undip. The results showed that 55 percent of women lecturers of Undip have been married for more than 10 years, 62 percent had 2-3 children, 53 percent as lector and associate professor in academic position, and only 1.9 percent as professors. Undip female lecturers transit time at expert assistant and lector is almost 15 percent and all professor when at associate professor are more than 7 years. Thus concluded that family formation was related with career rhythms. The shorter the age of marriage, the more children they have, the lower the age of the first and last child, will be slower of the career rhythm. This shows that Undip female lecturers cannot take advantage of the various opportunities and opportunities available for career development. This is more due to the outpouring of energy, mind and attention to family because children and families are more valuable than work for female lecturers. This is inseparable from the hegemony of patriarchal culture which is fertile and well-established in Indonesia in general and in Undip in particular.

Summary

Introduction

Women when studies are more brilliant than men, but the condition is almost contrary to men when they are working [1]. The condition of women between study and work as a brilliant educational biography to a poor occupational biography [2] This fact is inseparable from the various obstacles of women, especially from the domestic sector related to family formation and its complexity in working in the public sphere. Women's careers, especially in tertiary education, at United Kingdom University and Slovenia are more than 80 percent of their professors are men [6], even in Semarang City, Indonesia, female professors are only 2.28 percent [7] This condition is inseparable from the patriarchal culture which is the root of social relations that penetrates all aspects and lines of life
