Women will reclaim a good share of STEM jobs.
I believe we will see more women (re)entering STEM fields in 2023, reclaiming a good share of the jobs they lost during the pandemic. This will be particularly true for fields like the life sciences, where women graduate at higher rates than men.
Women disproportionately exited the workforce during Covid lockdowns as, more so than men, they assumed the role of stay-at-home caregivers. But with the introduction of more flexible work
arrangements, which make it easier for all employees to manage both family and career, women now face a job market generally more receptive to balanced life-work design. So STEM organizations have an opportunity to tap into an immense talent pool if they think carefully about the ways they can support working caregivers going forward.
