Abstract

The importance of gender balance in all workplace environments cannot be overstated. Organizations that create diverse and inclusive work environments are more adaptable, creative, and become magnets that attract top talent. In this paper we explore a few case studies from several countries to examine the status of women in science and technology, focusing mainly on engineering. We present historical information regarding the first women's entry into the profession, the current situation, and any trends that can be observed from available data. The data and associated contexts show that in the cases where parity is achieved there is a link to both fast-paced economic development requirements and to the ideology and policies of the country.
