Women in STEM*Hold ½ of all jobs
but fewer than 25% in STEM disciplinesWomen in STEM-related jobs
earn 33% more than in non-STEM jobsOnly 25% of women with STEM-related degrees
work in STEM-related jobs
Majority of female STEM majors choose physical or life sciences (men choose engineering)

Eight research findings in three areas:
1. How social and environmental factors shape girls’ achievements and interests in math and science
2. The climate of college and university science and engineering departments
3. Continuing influence of bias
Why So Few? presents evidence that social and environmental factors contribute to the underrepresentation of
women and girls in STEM
