Not that I’m aware of? Most PhD grads not staying academia seems to be a long-running phenomenon. The number of permanent academic positions simply does not match up against the number of PhD grads.

Some disciplines are much better at managing the PhD admissions to match the job opportunities. Philosophy for example.

But I don't think that's done with most science PhDs. Is that because of a culture of exploiting cheap labor?
