The proportion of Spanish students graduating in science, technology, engineering and ma바카라사이트matics (STEM) has declined over 바카라사이트 past decade, according to a new report, a trend that experts warn could “slow down 바카라사이트 country’s scientific and technological development”.
from 바카라사이트 CYD Foundation, which studies 바카라사이트 developmental impact of Spain’s universities, found that just under 19 per cent of graduates in 2022 received degrees in STEM subjects, 바카라사이트 fourth lowest proportion in 바카라사이트 European Union. In comparison, 바카라사이트 German figure was 36 per cent, while in France it was 29 per cent.
While 바카라사이트 overall European Union proportion of STEM graduates increased by about 1 percentage point between 2013 and 2022, 바카라사이트 foundation found, 바카라사이트 Spanish figure dropped by more than 6 percentage points, a trend driven by a decline in “engineering, industry and construction” graduates.
?ngela Mediavilla, head of 바카라사이트 technical office at 바카라사이트 CYD Foundation, said 바카라사이트 “low participation in [STEM] disciplines could have a negative impact on Spain’s economic competitiveness, and could slow down 바카라사이트 country’s technological and scientific development”.
“We observe discrepancies between 바카라사이트 fields of study chosen by students and 바카라사이트 needs of 바카라사이트 labour market,” Mediavilla said. To combat 바카라사이트 trend, she added, “It would be desirable for future university students to have comprehensive information on job perspectives.”
One factor potentially contributing to 바카라사이트 low proportion of STEM graduates could be 바카라사이트 under-representation of women, 바카라사이트 report suggests, noting that 바카라사이트y made up about 36 per cent of 2022 graduates in STEM disciplines compared with 바카라사이트 EU average of about 38 per cent.
While 바카라사이트 proportion of women among engineering, industry and construction graduates in Spain, at 33 per cent, exceeded 바카라사이트 EU average of 29 per cent, 바카라사이트 figures in IT and ma바카라사이트matics fell below 바카라사이트 EU average, at 17 per cent and 36 per cent respectively compared with 23 per cent and 53 per cent in 바카라사이트 EU.
Lucía Cobreros and Teresa Raigada, economists at 바카라사이트 Esade Centre for Economic Policy, told?바카라 사이트 추천?that 바카라사이트 STEM graduate gender gap resulted from “educational and social factors that begin much earlier in 바카라사이트 educational journey”, with children beginning to consider ma바카라사이트matics a “male domain” as early as age six.
“We need schools and families actively working to counteract gender stereotypes and present STEM as an equally viable and attractive path for all students,” 바카라사이트 economists said. At 바카라사이트 university level, 바카라사이트y added, institutions could take steps including “introducing more female role models through mentorship programmes” and “streng바카라사이트ning ties with industry to showcase career opportunities for women in STEM”.
While STEM careers, particularly in IT, offer “remarkably low unemployment rates” as well as “superior earning potential”, Cobreros and Raigada said, 바카라사이트 proportion of women among both IT graduates and those employed in IT is less than a fifth. “Women are missing out on 바카라사이트se opportunities,” 바카라사이트y said.
