![Page 26: WOMEN IN ENGINEERING IN MONGOLIA - WEC 2019 · Mongolia, women consistently remain in universities -- in higher numbers than men. • Despite the promise of the relatively new laws](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022050209/5f5bfb5102788a68e04c9003/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Conclusions
• Mongolian women traditionally have had relatively higher social positions and greater
autonomy than women in some other countries.
• The major change in the position of Mongolian women during the socialist era was their
nearly universal participation in all levels of the educational system and in the paid work
force.
• Despite the planned decrease in the enormous number of higher education institutions in
Mongolia, women consistently remain in universities -- in higher numbers than men.
• Despite the promise of the relatively new laws on the books that attempt to safeguard the
gains made by women in positions of leadership and power, there remains a wage gap,
and some indications that the gains are not stable.
• This data provides us with a roadmap of areas to monitor, going forward

Conclusions
• Nevertheless, there is a consistent, steady pool of women
in higher education. These young women have acquired a
high degree of math knowledge and skills from an early
age. The pool of women studying in universities constitute
an enriched pool of potential candidates for participating in
STEM fields.
