“…The presence of women in the STEM fields in both developing and developed countries tends to be low compared to men, which has occurred since the secondary and higher education levels [10,[12][13][14]. On the other hand, men are particularly likely to be attracted to STEM fields, especially in technology [1,15,16]. In developed countries, the persistent tendency of male students to excel in math and science is very significant compared to female students [17].…”

“…A study conducted by Xu in 2017 in the United States, stated that gender inequality in salary and status in STEM jobs is significant [3]. According to a report from a 2018 survey at the US census bureau, women who work in computer, engineering, and science are only paid about 80.7% of the average man's annual income [15]. Nonetheless, positive career outcomes, such as better earnings and greater job satisfaction, are associated with individuals having jobs that match their college major [3].…”

Gender inequalities in careers has been an issue for a long time in many parts of the world. Even in the country with the best rates of gender equality in the world, gender inequalities persist across many professions. One of the career fields where there is a lot of gender inequality is science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), which in this field is still dominated by men. This study aims to discuss gender inequalities that occur in STEM careers in developing and developed countries. The method used is a systematic literature review using a number of relevant articles from various journals. After the screening process, a number of articles obtained were studied further. As a result, many women experience gender gaps or biases in STEM careers. These gaps occur mainly in developing countries, although the results are not very significant. The gaps are felt especially in women who already have children, because their productivity is considered to decrease when they become a mother. In addition to the difficulty of women to get promotions, inequality also occurs in the provision of wages, where women sometimes get lower wages than men.

“…Women are not kept back by intellectual ability but by socio-cultural factors and national policies. [6] Many companies such as Google and Microsoft are developing their own DEI initiatives to retain diverse employees, as more diverse organizations have better market growth. This is particularly true if a human-machine interaction is required [5].…”
