Abstract
Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) is vital for any advancing society. While diversity in STEM has improved significantly over the years, there is still evidence that gender inequality persists. The lack of diversity regarding gender is often referred to as the STEM gender gap. To delve deeper into this topic, the information presented in this literature review discusses the issues, causes, consequences, and solutions of the STEM gender gap.
