Learning Mathematics in the Israeli Junior High School: The Gender Issue and beyond it Women and Mathematics Learning: A Feminist or an Economic Question? 1
One of the main reasons for social and economic gender inequity in our society is closely connected to the unsatisfactory level of math and science that girls choose to learn while in high school Not learning enough mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science limits the access of many girls to high prestige professions, whether mathematics-related, e.g. engineering, economics, or management, or not necessarily math-related, e.g. law or psychology.
