Abstract: In this paper the issue of women's position in research was studied both for developing and developed countries Women participation in research increased substantially in the past few decades. Globally, women make up 33.3% of researchers (in head counts), according to data from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics for 107 countries covering the years 2015–2018. Several countries are collecting and reporting sex-disaggregated data on researchers than 20 years ago. However, a large data gap remains. Further increase in the involvement of women in research is crucial both for the development of the research and for the empowerment of women by increasing their role in society. This recantation is devoted to the comparison of involvement in research between European developed and developing countries in recent years. Examples from larger context have also been provided. There is no straightforward correlation between a country’s wealth and its success in achieving gender parity in the research. Therefore, the origins of the differences are more complex than it is usually expected, which requires quite attentive study of the issue.
