This indicator measures the
proportion of female graduates in STEM disciplines at the tertiary level, reflecting the participation and success of women in these pivotal fields. Expressed as a percentage, it highlights the degree to which women are represented among the total number of graduates in STEM, offering insights into gender parity in education related to science and technology. A higher percentage may indicate progress toward closing the gender gap in fields traditionally dominated by males, while also underscoring the
importance of supportive policies and programs aimed at encouraging female enrollment and retention in STEM courses. Analyzing this data can inform stakeholders about trends in female participation, enabling targeted strategies to promote diversity and innovation in the workforce.
