"It's not just girls who feel that STEM may not be for them. Damaging stereotypes, negative perceptions and other obstacles are holding many children back from following a career pathway in STEM, but programs like Future You can support greater understanding of relevant STEM pathways for all," says Hilary Schubert-Jones, program manager for Future You. The STEM Equity Monitor collects and standardises data from a range of sources and puts them in a single report on the current state of STEM gender equity in Australia. The 2023 report provides insights into whether efforts to progress equity in STEM are working, and where future efforts are best focused.
