Cracking the code

This comprehensive report systematically investigates the global barriers and drivers for girls and women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It moves beyond simply identifying the problem of gender disparity in STEM fields to provide a detailed analysis of the educational, social, and cultural factors at play from early childhood through professional careers. The research offers a clear-eyed look at the complex ecosystem that influences female participation, achievement, and persistence in these critical areas.

What sets this analysis apart is its actionable focus on what the education sector itself can do to foster engagement and close the gender gap. It provides educators, policymakers, and advocates with a robust, evidence-based framework for creating meaningful change, making it an essential resource for anyone committed to building a more inclusive and equitable future in STEM.
