We need more women in STEM
1Women into Science and Engineering (WISE), The Institution of Engineering and Technology, London, UK.
Abstract:
In the UK, women represent just 26.7% of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, despite making up 47.5% of the overall working population. Currently, UK businesses lose around £1.5 billion per year due to STEM skill shortages. This leads to slower adoption of new technologies, reduced productivity and increased pressure on existing staff. With the UK's Industrial Strategy recently setting out an ambition to be a global leader in science and deep tech, and a focus on strengthening the European Research Area (ERA) to boost its global competitiveness through research and innovation, it is very clear that we need change. The demand for STEM workers continues to grow, and the need for diversity and creativity is imperative.
