STEM Gender Paradox

I don't think there is much they can do.A similar review of Human Resources professionals, also courtesy LinkedIn, shows about 70% are women.In another report, in 2013, 41% of college seniors that elected majors in Physical Science were women. Yet, only 18% of those who chose computer science or engineering were women. It seems they'd be equally capable in chemistry and physics as in computer science and engineer. But their major choices indicate it is not about ability and some

I think the two possible issues are:1) Job availability and remuneration. CS is a high ROI profession currently. It pays well, has lots of open jobs for it, and takes relatively low investment to get into. If it wasn't so, they'd be much less talking about its gender gap.2) The treatment of the minority gender in a particular field. There might be low males in primary education, but those that are in the field, do they find themselves at a disadvantage? Do they feel like the majo

Careful. Plenty of STEM fields have much better gender parity than tech. Tech is singularly bad among the STEM fields; only physics is competitively bad. Mathematics, molecular biology, stat --- all have strong female participation. Worth noting: all these other STEM fields are also heavily dependent on software and computer technology, and women do fine in them.

Whats important is that any woman who wants to do CS or Engineering is able to. Equal ratios for its own sake isn't important. If these percentages are the result of the choices of individuals Im not sure what you can to to change them.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic, but yes; it seems to be biology.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/the-more...

It is a curious phenomenon.https://womenintheworld.com/2018/02/27/study-finds-women-in-...

Yes. It is a well researched topic with lots of data. This one chart nicely summarizes the negative correlation between gender equality and women in stem: https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/genderstem-1....

You mean like that in more gender equal societies, women are less likely to pursue a degree in STEM. Its a well known phenomenon called the gender-paradox[1][1] http://eprints.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/4753/6/symplectic-version....

the more equal a society the less likely women will opt for hard sciencesas evidenced by this doco on the "Gender Equality" paradox https://vimeo.com/19707588
