Only 30% of STEM researchers are women and about 30% of STEM students are girls.

“Despite a shortage of skills in technological fields that are driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, women still only account for 28% of engineering graduates and 40% of graduates in computer science and informatics, according to the forthcoming UNESCO Science Report whose chapter on gender in science, entitled To be Smart the Digital Revolution will Need to be Inclusive, is being published on 11 February to mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science.”
