Roughly half the world’s population is female, but the STEM fields don’t reflect that. The 2024 U.N.

When it comes to STEM careers, the percentage is even lower. Women made up about 28 percent of the global STEM workforce in 2024, according to the World Economic Forum. There are myriad factors for the discrepancy, including a lack of family support, some teachers encouraging only boys to pursue STEM subjects, and a shortage of female role models . But one force is at play long before college majors are ever considered: limited access to STEM-focused educational resources for preuniversity students.
