Significance

According to a report shared by UNESCO, only 33% of researchers are women, regardless of the fact 45% and 55% women students enroll for Bachelor’s and Master’s respectively and out of which 44% enroll for PhD progam.

Further, it has been clarified that 70% health and social care workers are women and even they are paid 11% less than their male counterparts.
