Un Análisis Exploratorio Puente Esparza, Martha Luisa Briano Turrent, Guadalupe del Carmen Ramírez Flores, Élfego This study aims to identify the level of women representation in leadership positions on the central level in the Public Universities of Mexico during the year 2018. Information was collected from the websites of 37 Public Universities in Mexico, as well as from other official pages related to higher education such as CONACYT, ANUIES and ANFECA. Through the use of descriptive statistical and correlation techniques, results show that in 2018, the gender parity was not reached in the central level positions, obtaining an average of 36% of female representation. Furthermore, it is concluded that the size of the University does not significantly influence the level of inclusion of women in leadership positions at the central level. Obtained results obtained suggest that it is necessary to strengthen the parity policy in top management positions in Public Universities in Mexico, so this research identifies opportunity areas and recommendations to increase gender parity in the Mexican Public Universities. This study is a pioneer in Mexico and future research could analyze the influence of women on the academic performance or even extend this study to other Latin American universities.  Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el nivel de participación de mujeres en posiciones de liderazgo a nivel central en las Universidades Públicas de México durante el año 2018. Se recabó información de los sitios web de 37 Universidades Públicas, así como de otros sitios web inherentes a la educación superior como CONACYT, ANUIES y ANFECA. A través del uso de técnicas estadísticas descriptivas y de correlación, los resultados muestran que en 2018, no se ha alcanzado la paridad de género en posiciones directivas a nivel central, obteniendo un promedio de 36% de representación femenina. Además se concluye que el tamaño de la Universidad no incide significativamente en el nivel de inclusión de mujeres en posiciones de liderazgo a nivel central. Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que es necesario fortalecer la política de paridad en posiciones de pirmer nivel en las Universidades Públicas en México, por lo que este trabajo identifica áreas de oportunidad y recomendaciones para incrementar la paridad de genero en las Universidades Públicas mexicanas. Este estudio es pionero en México, por lo que futuras investigaciones podrían analizar la influencia de las mujeres en indicadores de desempeño académico o incluso extenderse a otras universidades latinoamericanas.
