“…Women globally do not have enough access to good schooling, especially in the fields of STEM and in certain specialized jobs. This happens because of the complicated ways that many social, national, racial, regional, and local factors interact with one another (Sharma, 2023). The underrepresentation of women in STEM disciplines perpetuates gender stereotypes, which in turn can cause some women to regard STEM education as being primarily for men (EIGE, 2021).…”

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education research has increased worldwide in recent years. Recognition of STEM education's importance in producing highly skilled scientists and technologists and its economic benefits to society are driving this increase. However, STEM labor force gender representation is a persistent issue. A meta-analysis using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol and a thorough literature search assessed STEM gender diversity. A total of 42 STEM education gender diversity research papers were reviewed using PRISMA. These Scopus papers provide a database from 2013 to 2023. The study used text analysis and synthesis to evaluate and highlight the countries, extract key phrases, identify research issues of interest to scholars, and suggest future research directions. The research findings indicate that current publications primarily focus on developing STEM education programs to attract and provide more opportunities for women. Additionally, other research areas of interest include proposing solutions to enhance gender equality in STEM education, women's awareness, and skills in the STEM field. Furthermore, research gaps have been identified in course design, learning material development for STEM education, and establishing a direction for implementing STEM education starting from early elementary school, with the optimal period being before grade 3. These findings can help academics explore STEM research ideas in new situations. However, the investigation was limited by using only a Scopus catalog database; disregarding alternative sources may have led to material being omitted.

“…Other research documents that many U.S. households, especially those in which the head of a family is engaged in less remunerative employment, suffer from greater financial hardships despite their full-time engagement in specific occupations (e.g., education), and this restricts their economic well-being, especially if they are female-headed households (Sharma, 2023b ). In a county-scale analysis of the association between STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and other professional disciplines and earnings potentials/economic well-being, Sharma ( 2023b ) found that women, despite their higher educational attainments, suffer from a double penalty as many end up working part-time in order to engage in care activities. A similar study (Sharma, 2023a ) found that single female-headed households with children are more susceptible to living in poverty because of the double penalty of being able to work part-time only (also referred to as the motherhood penalty).…”

A typology of U.S. metropolises by rent burden and its major drivers

Scholarly work on rent burden, a rather scantily discussed topic within the broader realm of declining housing affordability, still lacks a firm theory. This article seeks to address this gap by developing a typology of U.S. metropolises which centers on their rent burden status and serves as an initial step toward theory building. We employ principal component and cluster analyses to identify seven distinct types of metropolises and their potential drivers of rent burden. An examination of these seven types suggests that rent burden has spatial randomness to it, since some metropolises in the seven types do not confine to specific geographies. Metropolises with pronounced specializations in education/medicine, information, and arts, recreation, and entertainment exhibit higher rent burden, whereas older Rust Belt metropolises have lower burden. Interestingly, emerging new-economy metropolises exhibit lower rent burden as well, likely reflecting the benefits of newer housing and a diverse economic base. Finally, rent burden, besides being an outcome of the housing demand/supply mismatch, is also a manifestation of income potentials that are affected in complex ways by local labor markets and regional economic specializations.
