Abstract

The object of study of this research is the representation of women in the Spanish higher education system. Thus, the main objective pursued is to analyze its evolution and current participation in this professional field. For this purpose, a descriptive timeline on female access to higher education is carried out first. Secondly, a radiography of the academic situation is offered from a quantitative methodology. Finally, it concludes the existence of a double occupational segregation (horizontal and vertical), confirming the need to carry out gender studies that make the status of the issue visible and that constitute a preliminary diagnosis for the development of measures to achieve a real equality.
