We know that the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is a global issue, and Asia and the Pacific are no exception. The lack of gender equity is most apparent in engineering and information technology education, where only 21% and 29% of tertiary graduates are women.
This gender imbalance is amplified in STEM-related research and development, where women make up only 20% of the workforce. There is much work that needs to be done before gender parity is achieved in Asia’s STEM ecosystem. We’re delighted that you are joining us to help close the gap.
You must be an employee of our partner organizations
