Abstract

Women are still unrepresented in information technology (IT) jobs, and the overall low number of women in these fields in the United States, Canada, European Union, New Zealand, and Australia has been well documented. The situation is even more grim when focusing on women in computing subfields. As this difference cannot be explained by genetic differences or innate aptitudes, there has been an increased interest over the years in looking for solutions to increase women entering the field and retaining them.
