The world has historically experienced with the exclusion of women from science for a long time. Later on, the gender questions in science and technology was extensively raised and the entry of women in science and technology got started. But, the participation of women in Science is still not in parity of expectation. Although the gender gap in science and technology is continuously narrowing down over the years, men still continue to outperform women in scientific experiments and achievements.

In all countries, across all sectors and in all fields, the percentage of women obtaining patents is not only less than their male counterparts but it is less than the percentage of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the field in the country. This raises several questions: First, why aren't women obtaining patents at the same rate as their male counterparts? Second, is this a feminist issue?

Women make less than men in some science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. While explanations for this gender pay gap vary, they have tended to focus on differences that arise for women and men after they have worked for a period of time. In this study we argue that the gender pay gap begins when women and men with earned degrees enter the workforce. Further, we contend the gender pay gap may arise due to cultural beliefs about the appropriateness of women and men for STEM professions that shape individuals’ self-beliefs in the form of self-efficacy.

Abstract:

The gender gap in the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and computer science) in richer and more egalitarian countries compared to poorer and less egalitarian countries is called “Gender Equality Paradox” (GEP). We provide an overview of the evidence for the GEP and respond to criticism against the GEP. We explain the GEP by the higher identity costs of women in wealthier countries due to an increase in the gender stereotype gap and at the same time a lower marginal utility of wealth. We discuss why the GEP in rich countries in the future might enlarge the gender p

Abstract:

This study examines the impact of educational policy on mitigating the gender disparity in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) disciplines. Notwithstanding global initiatives, women continue to be underrepresented in STEM professions, frequently as a result of structural obstacles, and societal conventions. This study analyzes the efficacy of targeted initiatives, including scholarships, mentorship programs, and gender-sensitive curriculum, in enhancing female engagement in STEM education, and careers. The study employs policy analysis, case studies, and interviews to disc

Abstract:

Gender gaps in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) participation are larger in societies where women have greater freedom of choice. We provide a cultural psychological model to explain this pattern. We consider how individualistic/post-materialistic cultural patterns in WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic) settings foster a self-expressive construction of academic choice, whereby affirming femininity/masculinity and ensuring identity fit become primary goals. Striving to fulfill these goals can lead men toward, and women away from, STEM pursuit, res

Abstract:

Gender equality in education is a global issue that still faces major challenges, especially in developing countries. Gender stereotypes that limit women to domestic roles and traditional fields of study hinder their participation in sectors such as science and technology, exacerbating the gender gap in the world of work. In addition, unequal access to technology and online education is also a significant barrier, especially for women living in remote or low-income areas. However, technological advances and globalization offer opportunities to improve these conditions, through technology train

The study of the gender gap and strategies for the elimination of inequalities in science and technology is a complex line of research that analyzes multiple dimensions, focusing on those that have greater explanatory power such as gender stereotypes, the dynamics and processes that allow overcoming them, socialization and social construction of science, and the need to design innovative theoretical and empirical studies that respond to these problems.

This study examines whether there are differences in men's and women's use of computers and the Internet in the United States and Japan and, if so, how this gender gap has changed over time. We focus on these two countries because information technology is widely used in both, but there are substantial differences in institutions and social organizations. We use microdata from several surveys during 1997–2001 to examine differences and trends in computer and Internet usage in the two countries. Controlling for socioeconomic characteristics, our results indicate that there were significant gend

Introduction: Significant empirical evidence from literature revealed that women constitute half of the world’s human capital. Evidence also shows that women have the potentials to redress gender gaps in all facets of all scientific endeavors if empowered through Information and Communication Technology (ICT), favorable ICT laws, policies, cultures, ethics, and values. Despite these important women virtues, there are numerous pieces of evidence in the literature that support significant gender gaps in internet use (23%), literacy rate (48.6%), pay gap (22%), scientific innovations, etc., resul

Boosting the number of women and girls entering careers involving STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) is crucial to achieving gender equality, one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Girls and women tend to gravitate away from STEM fields at multiple stages from childhood through mid-career. The leaky pipeline is a metaphor often used to describe the loss of women in STEM and arguably other fields before reaching senior roles. Do interests expressed on social media mirror the leaky pipeline phenomenon? In this article, we collected advertisement data (reach estimates) from F

Abstract:

Within the framework of technology, design and material production are profoundly influenced by the class relations of production. Artifacts and objects are no longer seen as separate from society, but as part of the social matter that regulates and holds the society together. The development and use of materials are also closely connected to the social systems in which they operate. To date we have few empirical observations in this regard, especially on the investigation of the female presence in the discourse of material design. The connection between material research and gender has recent
