A Study on Women's Participation and Advancement in Information Science by a Non-Information Science Female Student

Abstract

In recent years, in order to promote women's participation in STEM fields, there has been discussion and implementation of measures such as creating new quotas for women in university entrance exams, but it seems that few educators have actually listened to the voices of the female students who are the target of these measures. In this paper, we will consider the results of a survey conducted mainly among female students in science faculties at national and public universities and provide a discussion on measures that can lead to an increase in the proportion of female students in DE&I sessions.
