Abstract

VALLE APARICIO, J. Eliseo; SAN MARTIN ALONSO, Ángel  and  VALLE ESCOLANO, Raquel. GENDER INEQUALITY IN SPANISH MEDICAL RESEARCH: A PARADIGMATIC CASE. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 2021, vol.51, e07635.  Epub July 08, 2021. ISSN 1980-5314.  https://doi.org/10.1590/198053147635.

In order to assess gender inequality in medical scientific research, the institutional research databases of the University of Valencia (2000-2018), of the schools of health sciences (Medicine and Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing and Physiotherapy) are analyzed, considering sex, academic category, age and clinical specialty of the researchers. Male academics are responsible for an overwhelming number of research projects and contracts, also of a much higher amount, than those led by their female colleagues. The study also reveals horizontal segregation and a significant gender pay gap, highlighting the need for policies that optimize the talent and work of Spanish medical women scientists for the benefit of society.
