Abstract

This paper examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted on the existing gender gap in the academic trajectory of researchers and teachers at our universities. To examine this impact, a review of several investigations carried out in Spain and Portugal during the period and confinement derived from the pandemic. The results obtained indicate that during confinement the scientific production of men increased, and that of women decreased, among other differences related to academic work in general (teaching, management, research). One of the main causes points to the existing care gap. This situation requires the need to expand measures to avoid gender inequality in academia.
