Early STEM Exposure Needed to Close Gender Gap

CSTEM

Specifically, the number of women in science and engineering rose from 23% in 1993 to 28% in 2010 but has stalled since. During the same period (1993-2010), female biological, agricultural and environmental life scientists doubled. These numbers do not include healthcare, where females represent much higher numbers.
