Adi Gaskell from forbes said that The proportion of women in tech remains far too low, despite concerted efforts to rectify things. Indeed, recent data suggest that the proportion of female computer science graduates is actually going down. It’s a problem tackled in a new report from Accenture and Girls Who Code.
“Women have almost caught up to men in the fields of technology, engineering and mathematics, right? You might assume so—but they have actually fallen further behind at the very moment when tech roles are surging and vital to the U.S. economy and its continued leadership around the globe. Unbelievably, the proportion of women to men in tech roles has declined over the past 35 years,” the report says. “And half of young women who go into tech drop out by the age of 35.”
The authors argue that this regression is largely due to the poor culture in many tech workplaces that aren’t inclusive enough to be attractive and supportive of female workers.
