5. International Survey Report:  Africa – 61  Asia – 254  Australia/New Zealand - 17  North America – 145  South America – 60  Europe - 463 James Hunter

6. International Survey Report:  Studies objectives:  To find reliable sources referring to the representation of women in physics within countries.  Conduct individual surveys exploring aspects of women in physics.  Results from the survey:  34 countries were involved in the survey  Was apparent that career affected women from marrying and having children.  Women with children reported feeling a slower progress in their field than woman without children.  One third of women felt they had progressed slower in their carriers than there colleagues had. James Hunter

7. International Survey Report:  Results from survey: (continued)  Most common factor of acknowledgment by women for their success was through the support of family, advisors, professor along with self dedication, hard work and will power.  Main problem that was introduced when picking the career of physics was the struggle to balance the demands for child care and the demands of a scientific career.  3 out of 4 women reported saying they would choose physics again as a career choice, if given the option to start over.
