WHEREAS, California as a state is committed towards promoting diversity and gender equality by ensuring that all genders have equal opportunity in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); and

WHEREAS, Throughout history, women have made extensive contributions in the areas of STEM; and

WHEREAS, Data indicates that gender image, as it relates to STEM subjects in school, may impact a young woman’s aspirations to pursue studies in STEM-related majors at the college level; and

WHEREAS, Women are underrepresented in STEM-related fields, comprising approximately 35 percent of workers in STEM-related jobs, despite advancements in technology which have resulted in an increased number of STEM jobs overall; and

WHEREAS, Female scientists and engineers have occupations concentrated in the fields of life, physical, and social sciences (48.6 percent) with relatively low shares in architecture and engineering (17.2 percent) and computer and mathematical (26 percent) occupations as compared to men; and

WHEREAS, The percentage of women occupying computer and mathematical occupations has decreased compared to the past (26.9 percent); and

WHEREAS, Women have made enormous strides in making up biological (55 percent), chemical and material (36 percent), and engineering (16.6 percent) occupations compared to the past; and

WHEREAS, Without women, many of the advancements in STEM would not be seen in today’s society; and

WHEREAS, California encourages the participation of women to join STEM careers to level the gender imbalances within those careers; and

WHEREAS, California celebrates, supports, and commends those who have aided in furthering the participation and involvement of women in STEM careers and activities; now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate thereof concurring, That the Legislature proclaims March 22, 2025, as California Women in STEM Day; and be it further

Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
