Women in IT: The Facts – from NCWIT
In the report, “Women in IT: The Facts” published on October 14, the latest findings from recent research on technical women was presented by NCWIT (National Center for Women & Information Technology), sponsored by the Workforce Alliance. The report also lays out the “business case” for increasing women’s participation in the technology industry, (which we know was needed all along!).
The report endeavors to be used by change agents and advocates for gender reform in order to raise awareness and promote action in addressing the key barriers for women in information technology careers. It includes statistics, such as the fact that only 24% of professional IT-related occupations are held by women – down from 36% in 1991.
