University Faculty by Gender and Contract Type in Colombia, 2019-2

Faculty counts for a Colombian university, disaggregated by gender and contract type for the 2019-2 academic period. The dataset includes columns for full-time (PLANTA), contract (CONTRATO), and adjunct (CATEDRATICO) positions. It is hosted on the Colombian open data portal, datos.gov.co, and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze gender distribution across different contract types (PLANTA, CONTRATO, CATEDRATICO) using the gender-specific columns.
• Calculate the proportion of female faculty within a specific contract category (e.g., PLANTA Mujer vs. PLANTA Hombre).
• Compare faculty headcounts between academic programs (PROGRAMAS) for the 2019-2 PERIODO.

Strengths

• Data is structured with clear, specific columns for gender and contract type (e.g., PLANTA Mujer, CATEDRATICO Hombre).
• The dataset provides a temporal anchor with the PERIODO column specifying the 2019-2 academic term.

Limitations

• Row count and total dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
