We conducted this study to document the female participation in the administrative and academic affairs of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP). Of 45 IAP Presidents till date, 7 (15.6%) were women. Females comprised 6% (2/31), 8.8% (3/31), 5.4% (2/37), and 2.3% (1/44) of IAP executive board members in 1990, 1995, 2000, and 2005, respectively. Only once (out of 10), a woman was appointed as the Editor-in-Chief of Indian Pediatrics; of 4 Editor-in-chiefs of IJPP till date, none was a female. Of 181 heads of the department of Pediatrics at different medical colleges, 58 (32%) are women. Overall female authorship in articles published in Indian Pediatrics has increased from 23.1% (133/576) in 1990 to 43% (154/358) in 2005 (P < 0.001). We conclude that there is a definite increase in the female participation in academic matters of IAP; however, the gender gap is persisting in the administrative domain.
我们进行这项研究，以记录印度儿科学会（IAP）中女性参与行政和学术事务的情况。在迄今为止的 45 位 IAP 主席中，有 7 位（15.6%）是女性。在 1990 年、1995 年、2000 年和 2005 年，女性分别占 IAP 执行委员会成员的 6%（2/31）、8.8%（3/31）、5.4%（2/37）和 2.3%（1/44）。在 10 次中，只有一次（1/10）任命女性担任《印度儿科学》的总编辑；在 IJPP 迄今为止的 4 位总编辑中，没有一位是女性。在不同医学院的 181 位儿科主任中，有 58 位（32%）是女性。在《印度儿科学》发表的文章中，女性作者的比例从 1990 年的 23.1%（133/576）增加到 2005 年的 43%（154/358）（P<0.001）。我们的结论是，IAP 学术事务中女性的参与度确实有所增加；然而，在行政领域，性别差距仍然存在。
