But what are the actual topics we've researched?
Here are the questions we tried to answer during the making of this project.
About gender

Are men majority in the STEM field?
According to Makarova (2019) “studies have repeatedly reported that math and science are perceived as male domains, and scientists as predominantly male.”

Why are they majority?
Stereotypes: Many individuals still associate STEM fields with masculine qualities, leading to stereotypes that can discourage girls and women from pursuing STEM education and careers.

What is gender equality?
Gender equality is having around the same number of women and men in an area that was, usually, dominated by one gender only.

Are white people majority in STEM?
Yes, leading with a pencentage of 67%.

Where/When does this problem begin?
The race inequality begins in kindergarten and progesses over the time. When you get into STEM, there are many more white people.

How many LGBTQIA+ are in the STEM field?
According to the Institute of Physics "1.4% of people in the field identify as non-binary, but when asked about sexuality 83.5% identified as heterosexual, 5.2% identified as bi, 3.4% identified as gay and 2.5% identified as 'other', with 4.5% entirely unaccounted for."
What is pride equality?
Acceptance, equality and celebrating the work of LGBTQ+ people.

Why are strait people the majoraty in STEM?In parts because sexual orientation is a hidden characteristic. A sizable proportion of the LGBTQIA+ people that are part of the STEM work force is closeted.
