According to Ecology Project International, even though women make up 50% of the population, they still only represent about 30% of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) workforce. Minority women comprise fewer than one in ten employed scientists and engineers. By age 15, girls begin to lose confidence in STEM subjects, unlike their male peers. By age 16, only 25% of girls asked to draw scientists will picture a female, points out Ecology Project International.
