| বিবরন: | Although the proportion of women who enroll in college in Costa Rica has increased over the past 20 years, they remain underrepresented in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). This article uses data gathered in 2019 through a survey conducted by the "Observatorio Laboral de Profesiones" to estimate a logit model that explores the determining factors of men's and women's STEM major choice, and the role of expected earnings in their decision. The results suggest that the context of an individual's home of origin is key for women. Moreover, expected earnings solely affect men's major choice, whereas family and friends influence the decision of both. |
