My journey into science: Personal narratives from five young African women Facebook Africa needs more role models in science. New African magazine spoke to five young female scientists to find out what inspired them and how their careers are progressing. As part of our series on education, we spoke to five young female scientists from across the continent about their journey into science and the work that they’re conducting. All are L’Oréal–UNESCO Women in Science 2020 laureates. Only 2.4% of the world’s researchers are African, 31% of whom are women. The L’Oréal-UNESCO Women in Science Sub-Saharan Africa Programme, launched in 2010, rewards 20 women scientists each year for the excellence of their work, supporting them to pursue their research through grants of €10,000 for PhD students and €15,000 for post-doctorates. 

The FINANCIAL - UNESCO research shows women career scientists still face gender bias

Share This The FINANCIAL  Despite a shortage of skills in most of the technological fields driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, women still account for only 28% of engineering graduates and 40% of graduates in computer science and informatics, according to the forthcoming UNESCO Science Report, whose chapter on gender in science, entitled To be Smart the Digital Revolution will Need to be Inclusive, is published on 11 February to mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science. According to UNESCO, the share of women among engineering graduates is lower than the global average for many members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). This is the case, for instance, in Australia (23.2%), Canada (19.7%), Chile (17.7%), France (26.1%), Japan (14.0%), the Republic of Korea (20.1%), Switzerland (16.1%), and the USA (20.4%).
