      Don't know. Significant that since having the opportunity, women have come to dominate psychology &be over-represented in medicine & biologyhttps://twitter.com/SandaBlue/status/883713411439263746 …

      Just look at the numbers of male/female hires. I don't believe the gap is attributed wholly to "women don't like science"...

      There are more girls doing maths and science but patriarchal homes and attitudes will take generations to work through

      Oh, I don't know. Girls who enjoy it now are likely to find themselves received with open arms because of the pressure to get more women in

      I would agree but in some areas the attitude remains unfortunately. No real push from parents in that direction. It's hard so don't try

      But not by gender! Parents either encourage kids to work hard or not. Its working class white boys falling behind most.

      Agree. Not a scientific study just a lack of push to the sciences. Out of their comfort zone for parents.

      I agree.We're suffering a general lack of interest in STEM subjects & have to rely on attracting doctors, scientists, engineers from abroad.

          But some claim this is gendered & its only girls being discouraged or inadequately supported despite abundant evidence they're doing better

          Love to know the figures of how many science grads come from non science background.

          I am limited in how much I can support my daughter, tbh. I can only encourage coz it doesn't interest me.

          But that is where some parents have fear and so it is discouraged indirectly. I see with maths that they think it is magic or something

          I have agreed. My cousin said to me about her daughter 'Bit worried about L, always got her nose in a book.' She'll be a lawyer.

          Fun Fact: The Netherlands currently attracts many foreign tech students, who then decide they wish to stay here.

          And tech. The Netherlands invest a lot in tech universities. Needed to attract more engineers. Was a shortage. So we try to encourage early.

          Many girls still choose social sciences though. Some things just are. We also have the most parttimers. We like living.
