What is to be done?

In my opinion, we cannot overcome the gender gap in ‘Science and Technology’, without

addressing the gender inequalities in all aspects of life.

We all know very well that the choices that we made and/or the opportunities we had

determine rest of our lives.

Consequences of the presence or absence of the opportunities, starting from childhood to older-age,

accumulate over the life course.

• So, we must consider the full cycle of life and all aspects of it.

• We must identify critical intervention periods and cumulative deprivations.
