Abstract

After identifying the difficult situation in women’s problems in STEM industries, we initiated the research by going over the past and ongoing viewpoints and conversations by other scholars. We compared and summarized valuable perspectives brought up by previous researchers and analyzed three possible dimensions that result in the current phenomenon: Education, culture, and biological difference. Then, we ran a detailed analysis of these two facets and discovered some possible reasons such as different treatments in school teachings, the problems of textbooks, gender inequality embedded in cultural values, gender discrimination in the workplace, etc.
