In recent years, great strides have been made to remove barriers to women's advancement and representation in science, technology, engineering, and math careers (STEM), as well as in leadership positions.
近年来，为了消除女性在科学、技术、工程和数学职业(STEM)以及领导职位上的进步和代表性的障碍，已经取得了很大的进展。
For instance, the National Science Foundation has invested 270 million dollars since 2001 to multiple initiatives supporting women in the sciences, and companies invest millions of dollars to support female leaders through programs such as the "10,000 Women" initiative by Goldman Sachs, which provides women entrepreneurs around the world with a business and management education, mentoring and networking, and access to funding.
例如，自2001年以来，美国国家科学基金会(National Science Foundation)已投资2.7亿美元支持女性在科学领域的多项计划，公司还投资数百万美元，通过高盛(Goldman Sachs)的“10，000名女性”计划等项目支持女性领导人，该计划为世界各地的女企业家提供商业和管理教育、指导和网络，以及获得资金的机会。

Men remain particularly underrepresented in fields such as nursing (10%) and elementary education (14%), yet researchers, policy makers, and the general public seem far less concerned in efforts to promote greater gender balance in these careers.

In a new study, social psychologist Katharina Block and her colleagues attempted to better understand why people might not prioritize gender equality in female-dominated careers relative to male-dominated careers.
在一项新的研究中，社会心理学家凯瑟琳娜·布洛克(Katharina Block)和她的同事试图更好地理解为什么人们可能不会在女性主导的职业中优先考虑性别平等，而不是男性主导的职业。
