摘要 这项研究的目的是评估整个二十一世纪哥伦比亚科学界性别平等的状况。数据按研究领域、研究员级别和学术水平进行分解。性别差异还根据平均年龄、获得研究生奖学金的机会以及博士毕业生人数的变化进行了估计。使用逻辑函数模型，对未来进行时间预测，以估计实现性别平等需要多长时间。医学和健康科学是唯一实现性别平等的领域，但随着时间的推移，女性的代表性也在稳步下降。另一方面，工程、人文和自然科学领域的女性比例最低。随着女性研究人员晋升到更高级别，女性研究人员的数量逐渐减少，这体现了科学界常见的“管道泄漏现象”。对这些结果的可能驱动因素进行了分析，结果表明，缺乏研究经费、法律框架不足、预先存在的偏见以及妇女权利保护不力等综合因素阻碍了妇女参与科学。据估计，如果不采取任何行动改变当前趋势，可能需要 10（人文）到 150（工程）年的时间才能在所有研究领域实现性别平等。
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the status of gender parity in science in Colombia throughout the twenty-first century. Data were decomposed by research area, researcher rank level and academic level. Gender disparity was also estimated for changes in average age, access to scholarships for postgraduate studies, and number of doctoral graduates. Using logistic function modeling, temporal projections into the future were performed in order to estimate how long could it take to reach gender parity. Medical and health science is the only field to have reached gender parity, while also showing a steady decrease in women’s representation across time. On the other hand, engineering, humanities and natural sciences had the lowest percentages of women’s representation. Women researchers showed a decreasing presence as they move upward to more senior levels, exemplifying the “leaky-pipeline phenomenon” common in science. Possible drivers of these results are analyzed, suggesting that a combination of lack of research funding, insufficient legal framework, pre-existing biases, and poor protection of women’s rights inhibits women’s participation in science. It is estimated that, without any action to change current trends, it could take between 10 (humanities) and 150 (engineering) years to reach gender parity across all research areas.
