  • Description: The self-selecting survey was translated into Chinese as part of an effort to increase participation inside the country; it was created with Shift Learning, a market-research company based in London, and the full data set is available at go.nature.com/2nqjndw. According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, 95,502 new PhD students enrolled in 2018, bringing the total PhD-student population to 389,518. Despite a tight and competitive market for jobs in academia, the dream of a university research position remains powerful. [...]the survey found, students in China are given little time to speak to their supervisors or principal investigators (PIs) about their careers, or about anything else.
