Women, science and technology: Measuring recent progress towards gender equality
- Share to:
Across the whole of Europe, more women than men are graduating from tertiary education institutes — Figure 2. Moreover, in general, the new Member States have higher proportions of women graduates. In Portugal and Poland, where the ratios of women to men are at their highest, two thirds of all graduates are women. Even in Austria, Germany and Malta, which have the lowest proportions in Europe, more than half of all graduates are women (52%). However, women are significantly under-represented in scientific and engineering disciplines: there are more men than women graduating in S&E in every country. Portugal and Latvia come the closest to parity at 42% and 41%, respectively. But elsewhere, such as in Belgium, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Hungary and Slovenia women account for less than a quarter of total S&E graduates.
