2021 NSF Survey of Earned Doctorates (https://ncses.nsf.gov/pubs/nsf23300/) was recently released. I hadn't realized that over 20 years there has been a steady downward trend in the proportion terms of number of doctorates earned by people who parents did not have advanced degrees. (My parents did not complete high school.) I wonder what are the reasons behind this disturbing trend. Also interesting was the graph showing which fields have an increasing representation of women.
Doctorate Recipients from U.S. Universities: 2021 | NSF - National Science Foundation

This report summarizes trends in U.S. doctoral education by using data from the 2021 Survey of Earned Doctorates, an annual census of research doctorate recipients from U.S. universities. Important trends in this population are highlighted in this report, including the representation of women, minorities, and temporary visa holders; fields that are attracting graduate students; time to complete doctoral degree; employment opportunities after graduation; and educational pathways to the doctorate. A special section focuses on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on doctorate recipients’ graduate experiences and postgraduation plans. Detailed data tables and additional resources are also available.
