The future of women in the manufacturing industry

Women only make up 37% of manufacturing workers globally. Many factors are responsible for this: girls being discouraged from STEM at a young age, the view of the sector as ‘for men’ and discrimination against the women who do make it in the sector.

In order for manufacturing to be an attractive career path for women, manufacturers need to change the sector’s image and highlight the female role models blazing a trail in the industry. This will be a subject explored at Manufacturing Digital LIVE, a free virtual event on Wednesday 6th December 2023.
