Project 1 - Analyzing the Education trends in Tamilnadu
The average falls to 18.5% in South and West Asia, with women accounting for less than 15% of researchers in India, dropping to single figures in Nepal.
The average rates for North America, Western Europe and sub-Saharan Africa hover around 30%. But with only 5 percent of women in STEM in the African nation of Chad, it has a high STEM gender gap.
The study shows less than a third of all big screen speaking roles are played by females. On screen, engineers, scientists and mathematicians are largely played by men, with seven times more male STEM roles in movies than female roles. In fact, just 12% of characters with identifiable STEM jobs onscreen were women. It’s a situation that moves off the screen to influence everyday perceptions of gender roles.
