| Abstract: | This year marks the Silver Anniversary of the Royal Economic Society Women’s Committee. Since 1996, the Committee has been monitoring the gender balance within economics in the UK, publishing regular reports based on the results of surveying university departments and later scraping information from their websites. This is the latest such report but, unlike previous reports, draws together two sets of data: the Royal Economic Society’s own data collection covering the period 1996–2016 and data from the Higher Education Statistical Agency (HESA) for the period 2012–2018. It considers the representation of women within academic economics, from undergraduate and graduate students through to the professorship, and strikes comparisons across time. While we find that progress has been made, we also identify areas of stagnation and retreat. |
