Why do women seldom become scientists?

First of all, the time for women to receive higher education is still very short, generally between the ages of 24 and 30, which is the peak of women's marriage and childbirth, so there are fewer female scientists. Today's scientists were trained decades ago. Becoming a scientist requires hard work, talent and opportunity. It is not easy. Normal people study full-time, with a five-year delay in graduation. Gender inequality is widespread in academic circles. 70% of the researchers are men and only 30% are women.

In high-yield countries, there are fewer female scientists, while in low-yield countries, there are more female scientists. Today's paper explains the differences in scientific research performance between female and male scientists around the world. Except Turkmenistan, in Macedonia, Sri Lanka, Latvia, Ukraine, Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries, female scientists are more productive than male scientists. The overall scientific research output of these countries is very small.

There is no difference between male and female scientists in South America and Eastern Europe. Because these fields are influenced by ideology, women get more opportunities. Facts have proved that in international cooperation, the performance of female scientists is far weaker than that of male scientists. Citation plays an important role in scientific research evaluation, which will make women's position in scientific research worse and worse.

In this case, we can set up some research projects to help female scholars improve their international cooperation ability. In a word, the inequality between men and women is caused by social and historical reasons. At present, it is difficult for academic circles to find a suitable solution to the inequality between men and women. However, every country should try its best to do something. After all, we can't ignore the intelligence and contribution of women who make up half of the population.
