The event is a global celebration of the women who work and contribute to the major scientific findings that we see every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initially adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, the day is enacted annually by UNESCO in collaboration with UN Women. Both organisations work with national governments, civil society partners, corporations, and universities to promote awareness and dialogue to celebrate the accomplishments of women and girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and encourage young people to consider a future career in these fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what does this mean for businesses, and what role can we play in celebrating and helping women to thrive in science and other STEM-based careers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite progress in gender equality and growing interest over the last decade, women continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields. In 2023, the gender gap in STEM remained significant, with women making up less than <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/global-gender-gap-report-2023\/in-full\/gender-gaps-in-the-workforce\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/publications\/global-gender-gap-report-2023\/in-full\/gender-gaps-in-the-workforce\/\">30%<\/a><\/strong> of the global STEM workforce. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/professionalprograms.mit.edu\/blog\/leadership\/the-gender-gap-in-stem\/\">Individual country statistics<\/a><\/strong> do little to better the picture, with the numbers sitting at 24% in the United States, 17% in the European Union, 16% in Japan, and 14% in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This inequality is concerning, as it leads to a lack of diversity and inclusion and ultimately will limit the potential of the STEM industry. Closing the gender gap will not only bolster sustainable tech-enabled growth and innovation but is also deemed an economic necessity, particularly given the changing nature of work and the new skills \u2013 collaborative and consultative, amongst others \u2013 this change requires of today\u2019s workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Identifying the causes of inequality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to a recent report from MIT, four key factors are serving to perpetuate the STEM gender gap:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Stereotypes<\/strong> \u2013 despite evidence to the contrary, there remains a deep-rooted perception that STEM subjects are associated with masculine traits, discouraging girls and women from pursuing this as a career path;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unconscious bias<\/strong> \u2013 this entrenched stereotyping can lead to unconscious bias in funding, hiring, and promotion, again disadvantaging and discouraging women and perpetuating under-representation;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lack of role models<\/strong> \u2013 the under-representation of women in STEM leadership positions makes it harder for girls and women to find role models, mentors, and support to overcome stereotypes and bias;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Work-life balance imbalance<\/strong> \u2013 like other careers in law and banking, STEM careers can be demanding. Women remain more likely than men to opt out or choose to work part-time to handle family responsibilities, which can impact career advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CaroleNoutary-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"574\" height=\"568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CaroleNoutary-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CaroleNoutary-1.jpg 574w, https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/CaroleNoutary-1-300x297.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 574px) 100vw, 574px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><br>Carole Noutary, Beyond Printer Director, Domino Printing Sciences<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>Strategies to address imbalance and nurture women in STEM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We need to address the still-prevailing misconception that men are somehow better equipped to succeed in the STEM industry. The core competencies and attributes required to make a meaningful contribution and impact are equally accessible to women, including technical and scientific knowledge, problem-solving skills, creativity, collaboration, and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses can play a crucial role in instilling the belief that women not only belong but can thrive in the STEM industry by promoting effective female role models and encouraging women working in STEM to share their stories. This should be a focus not just within the business itself, but within local communities, and educational institutions, to help encourage and inspire young women and girls \u2013 even at a primary school level. Concentrated and coordinated efforts to increase the visibility of the female STEM workforce, including those in senior leadership positions, will encourage interest in STEM careers as we strive to create a more diverse and inclusive working environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we cannot immediately change the fact that there are fewer women in strategic positions in STEM, businesses can start to affect change by partnering with relevant communities that focus on supporting women on these career paths \u2014 including, for example, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/shecancode.io\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/shecancode.io\/\">SheCanCode<\/a><\/strong>, a female-focused global career platform that works to close the tech gender gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses can also take action by providing training, such as unconscious bias training to help colleagues avoid social stereotyping, and by establishing women\u2019s networks and mentoring programmes. Another critical element to support a diverse and equitable working environment is consistent leadership behaviours \u2014 embodied in day-to-day work and led from the top. Leaders should be encouraged to adopt behaviours and mindsets that consistently make everyone feel valued and respected and create a sense of belonging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Support from early stages to personal leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Organisations should also support women to fulfil their potential at all career stages \u2013 from entering, transitioning, remaining, or returning to the STEM industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Promoting engagement with technology at a younger age is critical to increasing the proportion of women joining the STEM industry in entry-level roles, which in turn will enable greater female representation in leadership positions. There is evidence \u2013 both globally and from within my organisation \u2013 that sustained effort and commitment to increasing diversity is effective at increasing the presence of women at all levels across the business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The final element of nurturing women in STEM is allowing them to find and adopt their own unique style. Careers in STEM are changing; the nature of work is changing \u2013 and this brings with it a need for both new skills and new approaches. Rather than emulating other leaders, therefore, I strongly believe that those working in STEM roles should focus on understanding what works for them and embrace their own way of doing things \u2013 inclusive of gender, but also culture, individual personality, and values. These underpin the contributions we can bring to an organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2024, the best way to encourage and nurture girls and women in STEM is, in my opinion, to embrace uniqueness; that is how we will individually add value and collectively drive the change that we are seeking to achieve.
