Скачать или смотреть PECS: Why is there still a gender gap?

Among STEM majors, physics, engineering, and computer science (PECS) consistently have the largest gender imbalances among U.S. college students, with about 4 men to every 1 woman.

NYU researchers found that men with very low high-school GPAs in math and science choose math intensive majors just as often as women with much higher math and science achievement.

"This new evidence combined with emerging literature on the male-favoring cultures in PECS, suggest that efforts to dismantle barriers to women in these fields would raise the overall quality of students,” says Joseph Cimpian, Associate Professor of Economics and Education Policy at NYU Steinhardt.
