Why Is Gender Diversity Essential in STEM Fields? Greater gender diversity in STEM can contribute to economic growth by expanding the labor market and fostering a more competitive technology sector. Studies have shown that more diverse teams can lead to higher financial performance for companies, which in turn boosts the economy. How Can We Achieve It? Governments and industries can implement policies that support work-life balance, such as flexible working hours and parental leave, making STEM careers more attractive and accessible to a diverse workforce. Additionally, addressing wage gaps in STEM fields can also encourage more gender diversity.
