This will shortly be posted on the Internet, probably already is there, just not edited (which I am currently doing). I remember when I lived in the US, there was a news item that not enough women were involved in science and math in school. As you can see, in Lithuania, more women than men seemed involved in serious science. This is not an anomaly since women occupy many important positions here in Lithuania (for example, most doctors are women at least at the lower levels of medicine). I was wondering how many other countries in the world have a similar balance of women in the work place.
