More than 6,400 young people across England have taken part in our survey into attitudes towards and experiences of science education and careers.
This is the second wave of the survey, which was first run in 2016.
Anita Krishnamurthi, Wellcome's Head of Education and Learning"Gender gaps and socio-economic inequality continue to be major issues influencing young people’s choices, self-perception and opportunities in science. Families and their connections in particular emerge as major brokers of progression and future opportunities. To make STEM access and opportunities equitable for all young people we must work more holistically, taking account of all the factors that support and prevent young people’s engagement."
