Abstract

The strength and contributions of women are significant for all industries, including both STEM majors and non-STEM majors. Based on this background, this paper examines the reasons for the gender inequity experienced by Chinese women in STEM majors, hoping to provide informative comments to support the development of women in STEM majors and improve the status of women in STEM education so as to make more contributions to society. This paper uses the Internet to break through geographical restrictions, and selects samples from various cities in China, distributes questionnaires, and concludes through subsequent interviews that the causes of gender disparity in STEM education for women are stereotypes and gender inequality in employment.
