Why 70% of Women Quit Engineering? The 5 Turning Points That Decide Their Fate (Germany Study)
In Germany, only 29% of STEM students are women, and the dropout rate is staggering. But why? This video breaks down the hidden barriers that force women out of engineering and computer science—from subtle classroom insults to the 'leaky pipeline' in academia. Based on the groundbreaking book 'ChanceMINT.NRW' by Nicole Auferkorte-Michaelis and Arne Gillert, we reveal the 5 critical turning points that determine whether a woman stays or leaves. You'll learn how a single professor's comment can make or break a career, why 'women-only' programs actually work, and the shocking statistic that junior professorships achieved 50:50 gender balance. Whether you're a student, educator, or HR professional, this is a must-watch to understand systemic bias and practical solutions. No jargon—just raw insights from real data and interviews.
