STEM: Girls - Count Us In event 

Open-access content Tuesday 10th July 2018 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

Women make up 23% of the core STEM occupations in the UK, and 24% of those working in core STEM industries.

There were 61,430 more women working in core STEM in 2017 than there were in 2016, but there is still a lot of work to be done in order to carry on growing this number. 

We are hosting our 'Girls - Count Us In' event, the first in a series of such events, designed to promote diversity in the profession. 

It will appeal to girls who are interested in pursuing careers in STEM - and therefore, potentially, careers as actuaries. 

The 'Girls - Count Us In' event is taking place on 7 November 2018 in our Edinburgh offices. If you are interested in presenting at it, please get in touch at: [email protected]

Shifts in economic thinking

The 2008 financial crisis exposed systemic failures of risk management in financial institutions, and while the dominant approach among economists of rationality (treating the economy as tending towards equilibrium rather than subject to significant discontinuities through time) remains core to the regulatory environment, the crisis has led to some shifts in economic thinking, and signs of some shifts in regulatory approaches.
