One key reason for male dominance in science-related fields is societal perception and job market dynamics. Many companies assume that men possess stronger technical abilities and deeper specialization. Additionally, men are often seen as more career-focused since they are not typically the primary caregivers in a family. A study conducted by New York University revealed that 90% of highly successful professionals were men, primarily because they committed themselves to one specialized area. This indicates that persistence and focus may contribute to greater success in male-dominated fields.
