She Figures 2012 - new publication on Gender in Research and Innovation

She Figures 2012 is published by the European Comission. It is the fourth publication of a key set of indicators that are essential to understand the situation of women in science and research.

The report shows that despite progress, gender inequalities in science tend to persist. For example, while 59 % of EU graduate students in 2010 were female, only 20 % of EU senior academicians were women. The publication also gives an overview of the scientific fields where women are better or less represented, and compares the research workforce in different economic sectors (e.g. higher education, government, and business sectors).
