On Women In Math

• The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission published its Annual Report: Women in STEM (FY2019) which states “Overall, women accounted for 29.3 percent of STEM federal workers. Science occupations had the most (49,546), while math occupations in the federal sector had the fewest number of women (6,469). There were significantly fewer women in Technology and Engineering than expected.”
• Changing the Curve: Women in Computing provides a timeline of women’s achievements in computing and computer science, addresses the gender gaps in education and the workforce, and includes additional resources for women and specifically for women of color. Berkeley School of Information.
• National Center for Women in Technology “brings the proven tools, evidence-based methodologies, and collaborative peer communities that help build possibility, develop potential, and create lasting change.”
• Catalyst.org’s Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics has international data.
• The Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine “collects and disseminates data and information on the education and employment of women scientists, engineers, and health care professionals, and ways to increase the participation and advancement of women in all fields of science, engineering, and medicine.”
• National Science Foundation’s statistics website offers data including how many women earn baccalaureates in mathematics each year. These and other information are published biennially in two reports: Science and Engineering Indicators and Women, Minorities and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering.
• The Status of Women in the States, provides data on women’s progress in 50 states, DC and the US overall.  Published by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.
• Stanford’s Clayman Instutite for Gender Research Research Publications includes reports on gender bias, dual-career couples, and women in technology.

Technical Reports

• 2020 International Science Council Report: A Global Approach to the Gender Gap in Mathematical, Computing, and Natural Sciences: How to Measure It, How to Reduce It? We present methodologies, insights, and tools that have been developed throughout the project, as well as a set of recommendations for different audiences: instructors and parents; educational institutions; scientific unions and other organizations responsible for science policy.
• The Situation of Gender Equality in Mathematics in Japan by Makiko Sasada（U. Tokyo）Kenichi Bannai（Keio U.), 2020. “As shown in this current report, the percentage of women in mathematics in Japan is low compared both with other countries in the world and with other research areas in Japan. In particular, unlike other fields in Japan, gender equality appears to be receding. The decline in the percentage of female students in graduate school is particularly alarming, especially for the long-term prospect for the field of mathematics.”
• Gender Differences in First Jobs for New US PhDs in the Mathematical Sciences by Marie A. Vitulli 2017. “In this study we investigate employment patterns for new PhDs in mathematics between 1991 and 2015 with an eye toward gender, citizenship and gender × citizenship differences in unemployment rates, patterns of job types, and comparable employment rates”
• Gender Representation on Journal Editorial Boards in the Mathematical Sciences by Chad Topaz, Shilad Sen 2016. “Our findings provide the first measure of gender distribution on editorial boards in the mathematical sciences, offer insights that suggest future studies in the mathematical sciences, and introduce new methods that enable large-scale studies of gender distribution in other fields.”
