Studies have shown that ensuring gender balance in the workforce and promoting high-performing women into executive positions improves the profitability and market strength of U.S. companies.  Increasing the number of women studying and ultimately working in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) jobs would increase innovation and the performance of teams in the workplace.

Studies have shown that ensuring gender balance in the workforce and promoting high-performing women into executive positions improves the profitability and market strength of U.S. companies.  Increasing the number of women studying and ultimately working in Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) jobs would increase innovation and the performance of teams in the workplace.  A challenge to achieving this centers on the relatively low proportion of women studying STEM fields and working in STEM jobs which research shows is constrained by negative stereotypes, individual assessment of capability, and personal bias.  Women make up 50% of the nation's workforce, but only 25% of the STEM workforce.  As with men, women in STEM jobs make higher salaries than their non-STEM counterparts, but women in STEM jobs continue to experience a gender-based wage gap.  This paper will also discuss proven methods companies can take adopt to hire and retain women in STEM job and actions individuals can take to encourage the women around them to access in STEM fields.
