Although women have made significant contributions to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), far fewer women than men enter STEM fields. Based on your understanding of the text and your own background knowledge, why are there significantly fewer women than men working in STEM?

There are significantly fewer woman working in STEM fields than there are men because of reasons like; differences in education, stereotypes, and lack of role models. Sexism in general!

Explanation:

There are already very few women in STEM, so when a young girl wants to try it out, they often feel discouraged with no representation in such a male dominated environment. Stereotypes that women aren't smart, are weak, and aren't capable are incredibly harmful as well. They make women feel horrible everyday and perpetuate feelings of insecurity in girls. Differences in education can have a negative effect on young women, with lots of schools finding that young men tend to excell in STEM fields like math and science, while more young women excell in reading, and the arts. Sexism is so detrimental to society and women overall.

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
