LIS GUTIERREZ, JENNY PAOLA. ANALYSIS OF COLOMBIAN RESEARCH GROUPS IN ECONOMIC SCIENCES FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2012, vol.20, n.2, pp.143-164. ISSN 0121-6805.

From the calculation of gender indicators (horizontal distribution, vertical distribution, feminine index, masculinity index, Duncan index, segregation index and contribution to sexism index) and the use of thematic cartographic representations, a quantitative approximation is presented on gender branch and departmental segregation in the leadership of Colombianresearchin economic and management areas, according to the available information until June 2012. The findings showed that feminine leadership of research groups in the two disciplines of study is inferior to national average; the graduation rates of undergraduate and graduate studies between 2000 and 2010 are not reflected in the composition of research groups; the majority of research groups with feminine leaders are in category D; most of the department have both male and female leaders, but male over exceeds women; and this is similar at national level for both cases, the groups are focused in Bogotá, Antioquia and Valle del Cauca.

Keywords : Gender; Parity; Gender indicators; Social studies of science.
