Will it be the case that those so high efficient women falling in the
left wing of the time distribution will be less family and/or work dependent
that the others who had to take three and more years to complete the

19 Actually, a not statistically meaningful number of individuals (n.s.m.) in the sample (2 female MSc.)
has been ranked into interval 0, equivalent to a time length lower than one year. But we won’t consider
