Gender Gap in STEM

The gender gap in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) refers to the disparity between men and women in these fields. Despite progress, women remain underrepresented, facing obstacles like stereotypes, lack of encouragement, and workplace biases. This gap can limit diversity, innovation, and the potential for different perspectives in problem-solving. Organizations and educators strive to bridge this gap by promoting inclusive practices, mentorship, and policies that support equal opportunities, aiming to foster a more balanced participation of women in STEM careers for a richer and more comprehensive approach to scientific and technological advancement.
