I remember 2nd term math lecture. There were students from different engineering disciplines. There were 600 students with ~15 females among them.
Some years later situation is no different: ~100 people on the floor, 5 females here: 2 secretaries, 2 export specialists and senior researcher with PhD degree.
Where find suitable candidates for these quotes when women avoid technical stuff at university level?
- kypro 8y agoSeems the answer to this more and more is to discourage men and encourage women. I wonder personally if men and women just have different interests. I worry that we're perhaps pushing men and women into jobs they're unhappy with than if just left to their own devices?
- rawfan 8y agoI read a study last year, that at least in the US actual STEM graduates are more and more balanced between male and female with females having better degrees. When they looked at the jobs the graduates got it was not at all representing of the quota that graduated. E.g. 30% of graduates were female but only 3% of accepted job applicants (nmumbers are made up, just to demonstrate the point of the study).
- belorn 8y agoThere was a similar government study done on teacher graduates here in Sweden and it got the same results, through genders were reversed. The conclusion they had is that by drop rates and gender segregation get amplified in every step between first year student to long term employee.
