14. The doctoral degree was introduced in Italy in the early 1980s, and for many years the entrance to doctoral training was only by competition with the winners entitled to receive a fellowship. This has changed in recent years, but it explains why there is a relatively low proportion of Italian respondents with a doctoral degree and a very high percentage reporting receiving a fellowship during doctoral training.

17. In the US, collective bargaining predominates in public 2-year and 4-year institutions but not in the university sector. Most of the public universities that are unionised are in the northeast and the Midwest of the country. This is because unionisation of public employees requires enabling legislation by the individual states. The South and the west of the country are too libertarian for unionisation.
