STEM
At a recent dialogue with CEOs, hosted by Antwerp Management School, we talked about gender disparity, especially the gender pay gap. According to Françoise Chombar, Chairwomen of semiconductor manufacturing company MELEXIS, one key strategy for closing this gap is to increase the number of women working in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), since these jobs pay better. She cited some powerful EU research that found exposing school pupils and university students to STEM female role models for between 15 and 60 minutes increased the number of girls and young women pursuing STEM education by between 28% and 47%.
