Women are reluctant to enter the fields of applied science, engineering and mathematics because they are innately inferior to this fields. According to Statistics Canada , only 57 percent were women who studied in university and only 24 percent of these women in university who were studying math, science and engineering. These figures indicate that there is still a long way to go and there are many different organizations and programs working to accomplish more development for women in these careers. One of the most important ways to fix this daunting problem and to have a silver lining is to encourage young women in the sciences as early as possible, so they can gain an appreciation and love for the field they will carry into their adult lives.
