Project 1 - Analyzing the Education trends in Tamilnadu
-
Societal Stereotypes: Persistent stereotypes about gender roles and abilities influence career choices from an early age, discouraging girls from pursuing STEM subjects.
-
Lack of Representation: Limited representation of women in leadership positions and STEM-related media perpetuates the perception of STEM fields as male-dominated, dissuading women from entering or remaining in these fields.
-
Implicit Bias: Unconscious biases in recruitment, promotion, and evaluation processes contribute to the underrepresentation of women in STEM occupations, leading to disparities in opportunities and advancement.
-
Workplace Culture: Hostile or unwelcoming work environments, including instances of harassment and discrimination, create barriers for women in STEM professions, resulting in high attrition rates and limited career progression.
-
Structural Barriers: Structural barriers such as inadequate support for work-life balance, limited access to mentorship and networking opportunities, and unequal access to resources and funding impede women's advancement in STEM careers.
