| Sumario: | The study presented here aims to analyse and compare the presence of women in the educational field in relation to STEM degrees, as well as to investigate the interest of young women in scientific and technlogical subjects. Methodology: A quantitative approach methodology was used, applying a statistical review of secondary sources (SIIU and UCLM); an ad hoc questionnaire was distributed to N=480 young people from Castilla-La Mancha between the ages of 16 and 29. Results: The results show evidence of gender gaps in access and choice of STEM studies. Women opt, in greater proportion, for studies linked to the branches of social sciences, humanities and health sciences. Discussions: The information obtained allows us to explore the positions and interests of young women in addition to the factors that influence their choice of post-compulsory studies. Conclusions: Further research into how gender gaps operate in relation to the development and interest in science is an unavoidable challenge that directly affects the educational system, but in which all agents of socialisation must be present. |
