Abstract

Women are missing from Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) fields, undermining intellectual inclusivity, meritocracy goals, national competitiveness, and high-quality advances. Solutions require not only hiring more women, but boosting their sustainable representation (i.e., their lasting, substantial presence and valued engagement). Evidence-based policies can shift organizational culture, enabling women’s full and durable participation. The present review presents (1) numerous causes of women’s underrepresentation in STEM and (2) evidence-based interventions to tackling these causes. Specific policy initiatives (derived from the scientific evidence) would promote the sustainable representation of women in STEM.
通过循证政策举措提高妇女在STEM中的可持续代表性
科学、技术、教育和数学(STEM)领域缺少女性,这削弱了智力包容性、精英管理目标、国家竞争力和高质量进步。解决方案不仅需要雇佣更多的女性,还需要提高她们的可持续代表性(即她们持久、大量的存在和有价值的参与)。循证政策可以改变组织文化,使妇女能够充分和持久地参与。本综述介绍了(1)女性在STEM中代表性不足的众多原因,以及(2)解决这些原因的循证干预措施。具体的政策举措(源自科学证据)将促进妇女在STEM中的可持续代表性。
