Abstract
The third survey of gender balance in the economics departments of UK universities in 2000 monitors continuing but gradual increase in the participation of women and ethnic minorities. The under-representation of these groups is likely to represent under-utilisation of skills and may suggest inequality of opportunity. Women make up about one third of graduate students and one fifth of academic economists: they occupy 44% of temporary lecturer posts, 20% of full-time permanent lecturers, 12% of readers and senior lecturers, and almost 7% of professors. Since 1998 the proportions of women in all academic grades have increased but remain below the proportion of women employed by the university sector as a whole.
