【摘要】We study the impacts of a large national affirmative action policy designed to reduce gender inequality in science. The policy extended the maximum age of eligibility for an important early career grant in China by five years for women, while leaving it unchanged for men. We find that the policy significantly increases the number of female recipients of this grant, concentrated in the newly-eligible age range. This policy, however, reduces women's likelihood of securing larger scientific grants and achieving academic promotion later in their careers. We find no evidence that this policy affects women's subsequent scientific productivity. These findings highlight the need for more coordinated measures to remedy persistent gender inequality in science.
