Figuring out the status of women in science - Statistics and indicators

The importance of statistics

What is the proportion of female and male researchers in Europe, and how is this balance evolving over time? In which scientific fields are women better represented? Do the career paths of female and male researchers follow similar patterns? Are rates of women in science comparable across Europe? How many women occupy senior positions in scientific research in Europe? And is there any age trend that can be observed? To answer all these questions and others, She Figures offers numbers.
