Research shows women are going into tech jobs but are also being driven out

Women make up 57% of the overall workforce. Comparatively, women make up only 27% of the workforce in the technology industry.

By 2029, there will be 3.6 million computing jobs in the US, but there will only be enough college graduates with computing degrees to fill 24% of these jobs. For decades, the US has poured resources into improving gender representation in the tech industry. However, the numbers are not improving proportionately. Instead, they have remained stagnant, and initiatives are failing.

Of the 27% that join the technology industry, more than 50% are likely to quit before the age of 35, and 56% are likely to quit by mid-career.
