Why do young girls shy away from science?
Because they suck at math....??... 🤢
or because cultural (and systemic) models don't encourage them to do so?🤔

For further food for thought, take a look at Clémence Perronnet's study, which goes beyond simple observations to offer real avenues for action based on the prism of today's culture.

Let's not forget that France's latest baccalaureate reform promised a renewal of guidance, but in reality it widened the gap, with a 10-point drop 😞 and today less than 30% of girls in scientific streams.

At Accordia, we support companies in promoting gender diversity and inclusion, notably through targeted training programs. Our experience shows that valuing women's skills in the scientific and technical sectors is not just a question of fairness, it's a lever for performance.

I invite you to supplement your reading with the UNESCO report detailing how gender stereotypes influence career choices, available here: https: //lnkd.in/ex7kjm6e.
