    DescriptionAccording to Belle Derks: "As a woman you get the signal all the time that you are not masculine enough to succeed."

    Female economists think and publish fully about the position of women in the labor market. However, there is rarely a standstill of the situation in the own professional group. Nevertheless, the representation of women in the economic science is almost as poor as in business. Even though the percentage of female professors in the economy has more than doubled between 2006 and 2016, it still barely exceeds ten percent. Even in the technology, the percentage is higher.
