Despite comprising a talent pool that can be crucial for innovation and growth highly talented migrant women are often discriminated despite their qualifications. This discrimination is a significant problem, particularly for women who seek employment in sectors that are dominated by men, such as STEMM. We address the barriers to employability faced by highly qualified migrant women majoring in STEMM subjects, that result from inequalities unique to their intersectional nature of being a woman, a migrant and a STEMM graduate. We rely on qualitative information gathered in Italy through in-depth interviews with women with various STEMM backgrounds and different origins.

Abstract
Despite comprising a talent pool that can be crucial for innovation and growth highly talented migrant women are often discriminated despite their qualifications. This discrimination is a significant problem, particularly for women who seek employment in sectors that are dominated by men, such as STEMM. We address the barriers to employability faced by highly qualified migrant women majoring in STEMM subjects, that result from inequalities unique to their intersectional nature of being a woman, a migrant and a STEMM graduate. We rely on qualitative information gathered in Italy through in-depth interviews with women with various STEMM backgrounds and different origins.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
