Female supervisors ‘have more productive PhD students’

I would be weary of making broad generalisation about this study given the unique career path for scientists in the French system.

I really agree that generalisations in every area could be misleading.

Surly getting rid of the Habilitation in France [and Germany] would achieve the required result of having more young women supervisors. Including many with excellent publication records Nowhere else in the world has such a ridiculous system aimed to exclude younger supervisors. While I am on a roll: did the study look outside STEM, where numbers of publications is not really an indicator of success or finding a job, but quality is?
