dc.description.abstractThis report provides an overview of STEM (Science, Technology Engineering, Mathematics) in Brazilian higher education, with attention to issues of gender diversity. The study used administrative data and a novel STEM field classification methodology, tailored for Brazil and INEP (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anısio Teixeira) Higher Education Censuses. In the latest census results (2019), women occupied about 30% of STEM seats, while representing over 63% of enrollment outside of STEM fields. The share of women in each STEM group has remained almost constant throughout the last decade.en
