UV studies and diagnostics

As a result of the institutional concern and interest to incorporate the issue of conciliation and co-responsibility at the University of Valencia, the Vice-Rector's Office for Equality, Diversity and Sustainability and the Equality Unit have commissioned several studies.

GENDER GAP

• Gender Salary Gap Study in Spanish public universities, carried out in 2021 by the Ministry of Universities, ANECA and CRUE with the participation of 20 universities, including the University of Valencia.
• Study on gender pay gap at the University of Valencia, 2015. Pioneering study in the entire Spanish university system coordinated by professor Capitolina Díaz, together with Marcela Jabbaz and Teresa Samper, professors of the Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology of the UV .

• It was highlighted that one of the main causes of the salary differences between men and women in our university community is directly attributable to problems related to the reconciliation of family life, linked to very little co-responsibility (especially in PDI).

It was based on a statistical analysis from the payrolls of the university staff, as well as a qualitative analysis from interviews that sought to understand the professional careers of men and women. 

• Mètode magazine: interview with Capitolina Díaz: «In the scientific field we cannot get rid of the wage gap» 

• Opening conference of the Conference organized by the Unitat d'Igualtat in May 2016 by Capitolina Díaz: “Gender gaps and sustainability of life. Male co-responsibility, schedules, calendars and egalitarian legislation ”(42 min video)
