Call for Papers [Special Topic]
Looking at the Gender Gap The special topic calls for papers on Looking at the Gender Gap and such papers will appear in the journal Studies in Sociology of Science as a special column. Affiliated research area: Working Productivity, Gender Difference, the Diverse Workforce
Description Although outreach efforts to bring more women into engineering are abundant, a large gender gap still exists. Men continue to outnumber women in engineering fields around the world, with women making up roughly 10 percent of engineers, according to the 2009 Global Women in Engineering survey by the UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering, and Technology. That percentage has remained relatively constant for the past few years. A previous survey asked engineers about the gender gap, and 79 percent of respondents agreed that women are underrepresented in engineering, though 38 percent said the gap doesn’t matter.
