A new survey by SPR finds that gender bias remains widespread in historically male-dominated fields like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), with 73% of the women in those fields telling researchers that they've experienced gender bias in the workplace during the last year.
The survey also found widespread problems in terms of gender-based salary gaps, companies failing to act on reports of bias, the lack of gender bias policies for remote workers, lack of opportunities for advancement, the lack of women in leadership roles, poor training and other issues. About two in five (40%) believe it will take ten or more years for the problems to be rectified.
