The United Kingdom ranks second in world scientific achievement, only behind the United States. 35.7 percent of researchers in the UK are women. Within solely STEM fields, though, the proportion of women is even lower: only 14.4 percent. This trend is seen across many of the nations with the highest investments and achievements in STEM.
