>Also, isn't it usually assumed there's more stupid men as well?
Men have a consistent advantage in spatial/mathematical intelligence. Women MAY have a slight advantage in verbal. IQ test designers usually try there damnedest to even these things out so men and women score the same overall IQ.

The wealthier the country the less interest kids have in their future prosperity and the more they can indulge their own specific interests. Wealthy countries tend to be more 'equal'. Girls prefer people, boys prefer things. No scholarship program will change this.

Pic related is a different study based on HDI and STEM interest, rather than gender equality and STEM participation, but shows pretty much the same issue. In poor countries kids say they're interested in everything, in rich countries kids pick and choose what they're interested in and it falls into gender stereotypes - boys like explosions and mechanical things, girls like health and working with people.
Better throw some more scholarships at girls and trick them into a lifetime of regret.

No, but women in poorer countries are more likely to be interested in science. Having the opportunity to study a discipline that has poor income prospects and then bitch about it is a developed nation privelege..
