To STEM or Not to STEM? Analyzing Socioeconomic and Demographic Factors of STEM Degree Attainment in Ecuador With an Emphasis on the Gender Gap

This article analyzes the factors that characterize Ecuadorian STEM professionals using socioeconomic and demographic variables. Results show that women and individuals from households in the lowest quintile of per-capita income are less likely to have a STEM degree.
