Summary/Abstract: Gender differentials in professional status and productivity have been surveyed on a sample of 840 young scientists or 49.6% of the young research population. A significant differentiation of the professional status of women researchers and their male counterparts has been found. Women occupy a more marginal professional standing than men, expressing thus a lower degree of satisfaction with the social organization of science. In the last decade gender differences in publication productivity of young scientists have increased. Socio-demographic, educational, qualificational variables and the variables of respondents´ position in scientific institutions and community are more successful in explaining the publication productivity of young women scientists.
