The Gender Gap In Science
·Updated:
BA chart from The Economist looks into how well-represented women are in the sciences. It turns out women are still largely a minority in scientific disciplines and gender equality (or the lack thereof) in these fields differ depending on what country you're in:
In recent years, women have accounted for a little over 40% of the researchers in the US. In Portugal and Brazil, they make up nearly half of the researchers, while in Japan, only one fifth of scientific researchers are female.
