Abstract

This report aims to consolidate current research findings, policy analyses and best practices in relation to gender disparities in STEM education. This consolidation effort seeks to build a cohesive understanding of the gender gap, drawing on diverse sources including academic studies from 2014-2023, grey literature and evaluations of EU-funded projects. In particular, the report examines the links with science and mathematics education due to their significance in EU curricula, in comparison to those with technology and engineering, and the relative scarcity of integrated STEM subjects. Through this analysis, the report provides a foundation for informed decision-making and strategy development.
