The research was based on 60 small businesses in science and technology, and a team of researchers spoke to 30 women employees. The results showed that some women choose not to have children in order not to slow down their career development, and that women with families can not travel to as many conferences as their male colleagues. Many women stated low confidence and lack of female scientist role models as barriers for the success of female employees in science and technology.
