In 2023, Indonesia, Poland, and Bulgaria led in female graduates in natural sciences, mathematics, and statistics, with Indonesia achieving the highest percentage. The U.S. posted significant year-on-year growth of 2.55%, followed by Finland and Colombia. In contrast, Brazil, Spain, and Norway saw declines. Over five years, growth varied, reflecting educational policy shifts and societal attitudes toward women in STEM.
Future trends indicate a focus on boosting female STEM graduates through scholarships, mentorships, and industry-academic partnerships. Monitoring policy impacts and cultural shifts will be crucial for understanding gender dynamics in this field.
