论文摘要
本文通过分析妇女在教师职位上的份额以及她们参加每年举行的享有声望的会议，记录了印度经济学学术界的代表。来自精英机构的数据表明，作为经济学教师的妇女的存在仍然很低。在享有声望的研究会议的最终时间表的论文作者中，再次发现女性作者比例的比例不成比例。我们从进一步分析的发现表明，在研究生层面上，妇女的代表性不足。此外，随着时间的推移，妇女在博士课程中的比例有所增加，现在几乎是成比例的。在国外获得博士学位，不返回印度的妇女的趋势，完成博士课程所需的时间以及对家庭的责任可能解释妇女在印度经济学学术界的存在较低。
This paper documents the representation of women in Economics academia in India by analyzing the share of women in faculty positions, and their participation in a prestigious conference held annually. Data from the elite institutions shows that the presence of women as the Economics faculty members remains low. Of the authors of the papers which were in the final schedule of the prestigious research conference, the proportion of women authors is again found to be disproportionately low. Our findings from further analysis indicate that women are not under-represented at the post-graduate level. Further, the proportion of women in doctoral programmes has increased over time, and is now almost proportionate. Tendency of women who earn a doctorate abroad, to not return to India, time needed to complete a doctoral program, and responsibilities towards the family may explain lower presence of women in Economics academia in India.
