Abstract: This article presents an overview of the existing imbalance in the world of economics and finance research, particularly in France. It cannot be explained by an early onset of the imbalance in function of the orientation of students in economic studies. It worsens as young economists progress through their careers and it becomes persistent. To try to remedy this situation, initiatives set up in several countries through committees for the promotion of women economists (WinE) try to support them in their careers through mentoring and coaching programs or by setting up support networks, for example. Despite these various initiatives, parity and the shattering of the glass ceiling are objectives that are still far from being attained in the profession.
