From the research team who brought you Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics comes a deeper dive into engineering and computing, fields that offer 80 percent of STEM jobs but still boast dismal numbers of women students and workers.

Watch report co-authors Catherine Hill, AAUW vice president of research, and Christianne Corbett, AAUW senior researcher, discuss Solving the Equation's major findings.

"lots of people tend to care about the social impact of their work, women tend to care about it more..." - if this does not qualify as a bias, or as a stereotype, I do not know what else can be said. I feel like there are a lot of factors behind why women aren't a predominant force in engineering-related fields....but making this kind of statement is not right, to say the least. I believe that we all have the capacity to care about the social impact of our work, and I don't think women care about it more than men. I think we all decide on the level of care we put into our work. Social diversity is nice, but so is social understanding. Women in engineering should feel proud of their accomplishments, but shouldn't bash men because of it.

also women get pregnant and are less likely to work longer hours. Yes, these do affect employment outcomes and yes they do matter and no you cant legislate this nonsense unless you believe in taking someone elses right to choose who they want to hire.
