Nope. There is no consensus. Sociology, psychology and biology are all intertwined as part of the reason so conclusions are heavily based on interpretations (therefore open to bias).
I think the closest ones to the truth are those who explore the early years and how they relate to the careers they will choose.
For example this study[0] on neonatal babies (meaning not yet influenced by culture/society) concluded that males are more interested by mechanics and females ate more interested in faces; reinforcing the idea that females are more social oriented and males more exploration oriented.
By the way, one of the reasons there is no consensus is the controversy that generates reaching any conclusion that is not "it's just that society is sexist"
