There are many female students who finish degrees in science and technology courses at university, but few move into the workplace after they graduate. Why is this? What measures can be taken to encourage them into work?
In the past, many people think that science and engineering are for men. However, more and more female students join these departments at university in the modern society. On the other hand, only few female students work in the field related to their major after graduation. I think there are some obstacles why few female students move into the workplace and this essay will provide the reasons and measures.
Frist of all, an society awareness that technology is men‘s job still remains while more and more female students join technology departments. Therefore, many companies avoid employing female and think women cannot endure the workplace where there are only men. There is a social problem as well as the awareness. Many women still quit their work after marriage and having babies. It means that companies think women have risk to stop career soon so women cannot complete with men in the technology field where there are overwhelmingly much more men. Thus, it is not easy for women to get a science or technology job rather than men.
To solve the problem that only few female students who study science and technology do not employed after they graduate, government has to try to change these current states and it can be one of the solutions to solve the problems. For example, government regulate the number of female students that companies have to employ every year. Also, if government makes laws that companies support women who married or had babies to develop their careers continuously, more and more women can work and stay for a long time in the field.
In conclusion, the reason why most of female students who studied science and technology at university do not work at workplaces is complicated. It is a prejudice as well as social atmosphere. Thus, government has to try to change these and one of the methods is the regulation about companies.
