Despite the increasing number of opportunities available in STEM fields, women still face challenges in pursuing and advancing their careers in these sectors. According to recent statistics, only 35% of females continue to study STEM subjects after GCSEs, with the number dropping to 25% at the university level. Moreover, women currently make up only 29.4% of the STEM workforce, with an even more pronounced underrepresentation in leadership positions and at the board level.
Research has shown that companies with executive boards that are one-third female are ten times more profitable on average than those with all-male boards. This highlights the importance of diversity and inclusion in STEM fields, and efforts must be made to close the gender gap in these sectors. It is crucial that we encourage and support women in pursuing STEM careers and help them advance to leadership positions to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
