Globally, Women’s Use of Online Learning Surges - Derrick Thompson, TD

As noted in Coursera's 2021 Women and Skills Report, women's learning activities in multiple categories have spiked. For example, their participation in entry-level professional certificate programs as well as science, technology, engineering, and math courses increased to 37 percent for each, up from 25 percent and 31 percent, respectively, in 2019. This learning trend isn't limited to one locale or region either. Coursera researchers confirm a global wave of women building their skill sets through engagement with online learning activities. At 8.6 million, the US leads the world with the biggest cohort of women learners, followed by India (4.8 million) and Mexico (2.4 million).
