Nowadays, not enough students choose science subjects in university in many countries. What are the reasons for this problem? What are the effects on the society?

Current concerns on the low proportion of

science

course enrolment alerts the governments worldwide. The data has proved that teenagers rather choose business concentrations or creativity industries than

science

. There are several reasons behind

this

issue, and they put adverse impacts on societies. A variety of reasons can be put forward to elaborate why fewer students have interests in careers which relate to

science

. One of the most preponderant ones is that these subjects are often difficult and demanding. In that sense, it required students to put much effort into their study, which results in a monotonous life.

For example

, if a student chooses to become a chemist engineer, he has to conduct too many experiments and complete numerous projects, which prevented him from having any free time.

On the other hand

, pursuing an art or business degree allows students to study at their own pace, and use their time for travelling or family. Apart from

this

reason,

science

related jobs are fewer than other industries.

Therefore

, even some students are passionate about

science

, they

also

give up on it to select their major in other industries. Since young workforce will mainly drive future of a country, their career choice will directly decide the development of the economy and technology.

Then

, shortage in any industries will lead to imbalance, and there is no exception in

this

case. During the

next

twenty years, when the Generations X retires, there will be no replacement sources for these positions. Less

science

graduates

also

means fewer technological developments, which

then

prevent improvements in people’s life quality. In early twenty

first

century, the breakthrough of smart phone technology is the most impressive milestone. It is believed to happen because Generation X and Millennials were encouraged to study about

science

. Nowadays, it is hard to predict how

science

will thrive when Generation Z are more likely to choose Art and Business courses. In conclusion, the decrease in

science

subject enrolment's had happened for many reasons, and it is mainly because of the difficulties of the unit and low career opportunities.

This

trend will impact on society and technology evolution in the

next

fifty years.
