Summary:
"Despite concentrated research and important legislative milestones on gender equality over the past quarter-century, gender related disparities in science, technology, and math careers persist into the 21st century. This persistence sustains a troubling state of gender inequity in which women are not sharing in the salary and status advantages attached to scientific and technical careers. In this landmark volume, editors Watt and Eccles, both well known for their research contributions in this area, compile a rich source of longitudinal analysis that places the problem in context. Experts from different countries in the fields of developmental and social psychology, human development, biology, education, and sociology draw on multi wave longitudinal data on the gender related variables that influence occupational outcomes." -- Book jacket.
