According to UNESCO, 29% of women worldwide are in science research, compared with 41% in Russia. In the UK, about 4% of inventors are women, whereas the figure is 15% in Russia.
Russian girls view science, technology, engineering and mathematics (Stem) far more positively, with their interest starting earlier and lasting longer, says Julian Lambertin, managing director at KRC Research.
“Most of the girls we talked to from other countries had a slightly playful approach to Stem, whereas in Russia, even the very youngest were extremely focused on the fact that their future employment opportunities were more likely to be rooted in Stem subjects.”
The differences don’t stop there.
