Degrees in “Science and Engineering” between 2008 and 2018 at US colleges and universities were almost evenly split between women and men

From Mark Perry.

"According to the National Science Foundation, the share of bachelor degrees in “Science and Engineering” between 2008 and 2018 at US colleges and universities were almost evenly split between women and men (the NSF includes social and behavioral sciences). But don’t we hear all the time about the concern about the “shortage of women in STEM”? And that concern has mobilized ongoing national efforts, funding, scholarships, fellowships, camps, clubs, programs and resources at the K-12 and college level devoted to trying to correct the “shortage” of women in STEM? Seems more like a non-problem to me."
