| Federal Industry, Science and Technology Minister Karen Andrews has warned significant numbers of young Australian women could be unemployable if they do not acquire science and maths skills, adding parents need to be encouraging their daughters to stick with their STEM studies.
Ahead of a report on women's participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) on Sunday, Ms Andrews pointed to the low take-up of STEM study at university coupled with high demand for these skills in the workforce. She stressed 75 per cent of the jobs in the fastest-growing industries need STEM skills.
