Gentosha Shinsho / In terms of the percentage of female students in science at universities, graduate schools and other higher education institutions, Japan is the lowest among OECD countries. Although female students are among the top class in the world in science and mathematics, why don't they choose science? Is there any other factor besides their own will at work?
