Abstract	Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are regarded as very important for national economies all over the world and also in the European countries. Therefore expanding and developing the STEM workforce is regarded as a critical issue for governments, managers, and educators. However, despite the tremendous gains that girls and women have made in education and the workforce during the past decades, girls don't participate in STEM fields, and certain scientific and engineering disciplines remain overwhelmingly male. [...] [The author] presents statistical data on the situation of women in STEM in Germany in comparison with other European countries, unsurprisingly showing many similarities. She further identifies and discusses psychological (motivation, self-concept, achievement) and socio-cultural (gender stereotypes, image of STEM occupations) factor encouraging of preventing women's choices for STEM.
