[eng] This project is a study of the existing problematic in tertiary technical studies, which
have an alarming small share of women. The report is divided in two parts: a situation
analysis and an empirical evidence, each of which will have different objectives.
Throughout the project, we see how women’s and men’s interests in studies only differ
in four areas: Health, Education, ICT and Engineering, and how these interests are caused
by cultural aspects. For this reason, four variables are proposed to be analyzed through
a linear regression: PIB per capita, household spending on tertiary education, share of
women in tertiary studies and share of total students in technical degrees, in order to
test if they are significant or not and, thus, if they have an effect on women’s choice to
study technical degrees. Finally, the conclusions posed make a statement on how the
problematic could be fixed based on the numerical results.
