According to analysis by UNESCO, women remain considerably under-represented across STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) studies and careers.
About:
Supporting statistics: According to the UNESCO, globally 29% of those in science research and development are women, with a low 19% in south and west Asia and a high 48% in central Asia.
Reasons: Most young women do not identify with STEM and assume these subjects won’t align with their desire to be creative and make an impact in the world.
Impact: This would further widen the gender gap in the technology world. Women will also miss contributing to the next generation of technologies and innovations.
Recommendations: Teachers and technologists have a responsibility in building a passion for STEM subjects among women students by designing computer science curricula around societal challenges and giving young women more exposure to female role models.
