Question

Are women less in numbers in the field of science, technology and environment? If, yes,why?​

Answer 1

yes in past due to gender discrimination but in the present women are increasing

Answer 2

Answer:

Only 15 percent of the Indian research and development workforce are women, while the global average is 30 per cent, says National Task Force on women in science report. But, the magnitude of gender difference in science is quite significant in India. The picture is no different in science and technology teaching institutions.

While reasons are multiple, the most important one is mindset, which has been targeting women right from their cradles. We never see a year-old baby as a baby, but a girl or a boy. This gets a push from our academic books that breed this discrimination.
