But do you know what percentage of girls pursue STEM in college? According to Girls Who Code, just 0.4% of female high school students pursue STEM in college, despite the fact that 74% of middle school girls expressed interest in STEM and careers.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And do you know only 23% of American employees are females in STEM professions, despite the country being one of the epicenters of the technological revolution?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unbelievable! But it is a fact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Europe, the situation is not much better; women make up only 19.1% of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">World Bank estimates that women make up less than a third of the workforce worldwide in occupations related to technology. Women have 15.9% of all employment in the engineering and architectural industries, compared to 28% of all computer and mathematics occupations.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, there is a 14% disparity in wages. Women in STEM fields make $0.86 for every dollar earned by a man, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These uninspiring findings notwithstanding, initiatives are being made to support women in technology. Scholarship is a real step in that direction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These data led to the introduction of various scholarships to encourage women to pursue STEM.
