RE: 3 Research-Backed Ways Educators Can Encourage More Girls Into Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
We do need more women to pursue science but sometimes I think we are being unfair to the other field. Maybe the better alternative is to let anyone, study anything they were interested in.
Science is the one area of STEM where women have seen a representation grow the most over the past ~20 years. The main areas where a severe shortage still exists are computing, math and engineering occupations.
And I think you missed the point... it's not about people 'studying anything they are interested in', the point is that boys and girls, men and women, do not have equal opportunities to study or pursue the same careers due to the factors highlighted above.
