Women are still underrepresented in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics)
fields, especially in engineering, manufacturing, construction and ICT-related subjects. The number of women graduates in STEM-related fields slowly increases, but this change is not
reflected in the STEM labour market where women still only hold a fraction of technical and managerial posts.Women are important to the future of innovation. They play a key role in
ensuring that the needs of all in society are represented. How to increase the number of girls
interested in STEM and promote inspiring female role models? |
