• Five countries in the developing world: Brazil, India, Indonesia, Korea, South Africa, USA and one region – EU
• National researchers collected qualitative and quantitative data to fill in the Gender Equality-Knowledge Society framework
First Phase (November 2011 – May 2012)
Overall Findings:
The knowledge society is failing to include women to an equal extent. In some cases, their inclusion is negligible.
Gendered barriers to STI and technology create a large gender gap in the knowledge society that will not improve automatically with economic growth.

STI participation

STI participation
![Page 17: National Assessments on Gender in Science, Technology and Innovation Gender Equality in the Knowledge Society Sophia Huyer, Executive Director, WISAT Senior](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc31a28abf838ca54ac/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Key Findings
Female participation in STI is characterised by:• Approximate parity in S&E overall• Alarmingly low representation in the science,
technology and innovation fields• Under-representation in engineering, physics
and computer science — lower than 30% • Declining representation in the labourforce

Key Findings
Female participation in STI is characterised by:
• Little sex-disaggregated data at the national level
• Less access to productive resources
![Page 19: National Assessments on Gender in Science, Technology and Innovation Gender Equality in the Knowledge Society Sophia Huyer, Executive Director, WISAT Senior](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/5697bfc31a28abf838ca54ac/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
There is no simple solution
• Female parity in the science, technology and innovation fields is tied to higher economic status; government and politics; economic, productive and technological resources; and policy implementation
• Education is insufficient and needs to be supported by a multi-dimensional approach
