Abstract

Achieving each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda depends on gender equality in scientific research and STEM fields. A considerable increase in the number of girls and women entering and continuing in STEM jobs is possible because sustainable development also demands more research and scientists. Creating an environment where creativity and innovation may flourish in schools, businesses, hospitals, research institutes, and government agencies requires ensuring that all kids have equal chances. Equalizing the playing field for women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is crucial for enhancing nations’ competitiveness in a global economy where STIs are becoming more and more important. Additionally, women contribute to research and development (R&D) with their unique viewpoints, priorities, and methods, demonstrating that gender equality in scientific research can also promote better science, technology, and innovation. In essence, because gender inequality can result in instruments that are harmful to science, it can have a negative impact on the implementation and strategy of successful policy. This paper is a review of women in scientific research by exploring relevant literature that references the involvement of women in scientific research and offers possible solutions to bridge the gender gap in scientific research.
