Teenage girls want to “break the glass ceiling” with 37% wanting a career in a traditionally male-dominated field.
A poll of 2,000 young women, aged 13 to 19, found a third (33%) of those likely to choose a traditionally male career path would be interested in pursuing a career in science, while 31% are keen to explore a job in engineering.
More than eight in ten of these believe they are just as capable as their male counterparts of performing certain roles – and 28% of those who feel this way think they are, in fact, more capable.
