The European Commission has published its latest figures on the participation of women in science, confirming that while numbers are increasing, a significant gender imbalance persists.
The 'She Figures 2006' booklet gives an overview of the situation in 2004 for women in science, providing data on specific gender differences across employment sectors, education subjects and levels, and examining the extent of the contribution that women make to setting the scientific agenda. The report is the second in a series and provides several sets of additional data to 'She Figures 2003', including new statistics on the gender-pay gap in selected business sectors.
