Is it possible that the problem there is the amount of women starting studies in stem fields? I don’t have any numbers but anecdotal evidence of two Helsinki based schools in CS related programs had very lopsided gender ratios in bachelors and masters levels.

Okay, I looked it up and apparently CS is the only stem field where there seems to be significant bias (https://blogs.helsinki.fi/edu-kumpula/2019/10/10/faculty-of-...)

The correlation of women in STEM graduates and Global Gender Gap index is negative: the higher gender equality, the lower the proportion of women graduating from STEM subjects.
