本文旨在了解印度妇女在科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)领域的地位，并从性别作为一种社会结构的角度突出她们所面临的挑战。它认为，社会建构主义的观点有助于关注特定的社会文化背景，并加深我们对STEM女性职业发展障碍的理解。基于政府数据和研究研究，它表明，这些制约因素发生在印度社会、组织和制度背景的交叉点上。这一观点有助于探索针对具体国家情况的独特解决办法。
This article intends to understand the position of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in India and to highlight the challenges faced by them through the perspective of gender as a social construct. It argues that the social constructionist perspective helps to focus on the specific socio-cultural context, and to deepen our understanding of the barriers in career advancement for women in STEM. Based on the governmental data and research studies, it demonstrates that these constraints occur at the intersection of Indian social, organizational and institutional contexts. This perspective helps to explore solutions unique to the specific national context.
