Abstract
Science and technology are very closely connected in every sphere of our lives. As scientific study aims at conquering knowledge of the complexities in nature and finding solutions to unsolved problems, it is vital for the development of mankind. The constructive influences of technology are numerous. The human life has been modernized for the development in this field. Science and Technology serves as the engine of development of a country and an engine of change for the society. An inclusive gender gap has continued over the years at all fields of STEM disciplines all over the world. Even though the involvement of women in higher education has increased, they are still under-represented. A lack of female representation negatively impacts our future for the society. There is a direct correlation between development of a country and its practice of science and technology. For this purpose, women along with men should be given ample opportunities to enter into and excel in science, technology, and related professions. Women are enterprising in science and technology with the inspiration and knowledge enabling them to utilize their full potential. They are committed to developing themselves as leaders through education, mentorship, networking, and information sharing. The research work is based on data for students, teachers and scientists who are in public, private universities and scientific institutions of Bangladesh. We displayed and illustrated collected data in various tables and also compared male, female students, teachers and scientists and findings disclose that women in all mentioned sectors slightly increased. As half of the total population is women, the main objective of this paper is to highlight the increased involvement of women in STEM field that would allow the country to develop and improve socio-economic prospects.
Highlights
In the last two decades, remarkable progress has been made but there is much that remains to be accomplished [1, 2]
Number of female students in both the public and private universities is less than 30% of the male counterpart
The human life is rationalized for the progress in this field
Summary
In the last two decades, remarkable progress has been made but there is much that remains to be accomplished [1, 2]. Even today in the modern developed world parents still prefer to have a boy rather than a girl. One longstanding reason why boys have been seen as a greater blessing that they are expected to become better economic providers during their parents' old age. It is time for parents to think that girls may be a better investment. Girls get better grades at school than boys. More women go to university than men. Women will be better equipped for the new jobs of the 21st century
