Nurturing Women in STEM: A Multifaceted Approach for India

Author(s) Munmi Saikia
Country India
Abstract Despite advancements in education, women remain underrepresented in India's Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce, impacting diversity and innovation. The author examined 74 articles published between 2004 and 2024 by reviewing the existing literature. The multifaceted challenges hindering women's participation and growth in STEM fields within India are explored. While acknowledging global barriers, it emphasizes India's unique socio-cultural context, including patriarchal norms, early marriage pressures, the rise of nuclear families with diminished extended family support, and inadequate institutional support. During the investigation, it is observed that the majority of research is concentrated on the difficulties women experience in academia. The research advocates for a holistic approach, fostering an environment where women's STEM aspirations can flourish. Key recommendations include early STEM exposure, addressing biases, cultivating inclusive environments, promoting flexible work arrangements, and challenging stereotypes. Additionally, it is crucial to address the challenges of modern times faced by women in nuclear families, such as childcare concerns and lack of family support, to create a truly equitable STEM landscape. Through concerted efforts at all levels, India can nurture a supportive ecosystem for women in STEM, unlocking the full potential of its female talent pool and fostering a more innovative and prosperous future.
