Not enough students around the world choose to study science subjects at university. what are the reasons for this? what impact does this have on society?

Today, technology is rapidly changing the lives of people around the world, creating a high demand for admission for university graduates with a background in

science

.

However

, the number of students studying relevant subjects is well below the required level.

This

problem seems to be caused by outdated preconceptions, which determine young people's choices.

Firstly

,

Science

is considered the least among the younger pupils. Because

this

likely involves skills

such

as problem-solving and memorising formulas, which is challenging for the students.

This

also

makes them feel bored and uninterested in the matter.

Therefore

, the lack of

science

students was widely spreading. In the past, scientists were underpaid than other professions

such

as business and law. Ambitious youngsters appeal to higher salaried jobs.

However

, things have changed, today jobs in

this

profession are considered the highest skilled-level field.

Nonetheless

, even

then

university applications are overflowed with management and business studies.

Secondly

, Women chose subjects like arts, history, and languages as their majors. But, In recent decades, noticeable progress has been achieved by many countries across the globe. Acknowledging that men and women are equally capable in skill.

Additionally

, In the past, It was believed that some subjects are mostly suited for men.

For example

computers, and electronics were totally dominated by men.

Moreover

, women felt discriminated against, underpaid and sexually harassed in the workplace.

Hence

, they feel unwelcome in male-dominated work environments. Overall, It seems young people still perceive studying

science

as a route towards mediocre income from the job. Regardless of the difficulty level,

science

is considered one of the highly paid and skilled jobs.
