Women in STEM Careers
Both education and gender equality are an integral part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development , adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 , as Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ). More girls are going to school today than before ; gender equality in primary education has been achieved in most of the regions . However , there are still large inequalities in the labor market in some regions , women still do not have equal access to work . While more women are entering the STEM workforce than ever before , women are still significantly under-represented in STEM occupations in many countries .
