This study aims to identify gender gaps in Peru’s STEM careers (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) to promote equal opportunities in society. It presents statistics comparing the presence of women and men, considering their educational levels, age groups, and years of entry into these careers. This data serves as a basis for developing strategies to close these gaps. The research involved a descriptive analysis of data from the National Council for Science, Technology, and Technological Innovation (CONCYTEC) to understand the situation of professionals in the National Registry of Scientific, Technological, and Innovation Personnel (RENACYT) in Peru. Despite significant progress in recent decades, many obstacles still hinder the full integration of women into these fields. Measuring these gender gaps in science, technology, and innovation poses a challenge due to the limited data and indicators available internationally.
