19. GENDER GAP
OR CALL IT LIKE IT IS

20. THE EMPLOYMENT GAP
in the US 47% of the workforce are women BUT ONLY
25% hold computing roles (NCWIT), of which
5% are Asian
3% - Black
1% - Hispanic women
STEM jobs - + 79% since 1990
RETENTION GAP
38% of women who majored in the area work in the
field vs 53% of men
24% of women who majored in the area work in the
field vs 30% of men
Computer science
Engineering

21. Iceland - 89.2%
Finland - 86.1%
Norway - 84.9%
New Zealand - 84%
Sweden - 82.3%
Namibia - 80.9%
Rwanda - 80.5%

WHO IS DOING GOOD

TOP TECH
COMPANIES
2.3% VC funding to
female-only companies
9% to female/male-led
companies
Women in science and tech
are also less likely than men
to access funding.
(based on 2020 data)
FUNDING
Women in academia were
also found to receive less
grant funding despite being
twice as productive.
And though women account
for four in 10 academics
globally, they often face an
impenetrable glass ceiling,
says UNESCO
GRANTS
UNESCO’s findings echo
those of the World Economic
Forum’s Global Gender Gap
Report 2021, which found
that the time it will take to
close the worldwide gender
gap has increased by a
generation from 99.5 to
135.6 years
GAP INCREASE

23. THE ROAD
TOWARDS
CHANGE
We should intentionally provide girls with concrete opportunities to discover their natural wonder
around technology
START GIRLS EARLY
Companies should cast a wider recruiting net and update their hiring approaches and criteria.
NEW WAYS TO RECRUITE
Inclusion is much more than diversity, which merely refers to the breadth of representation in your
workforce.
RETENTION = INCLUSION
Only 7 in 10 tech companies self-reported achieving pay equity in 2020, according to new data from
AnitaB.org.
EQUAL PAY
With caregiving responsibilities often falling primarily on women, companies should embrace remote
work, flexible schedules, shared schedules, phase-in schedules, and contract work to keep employees
with caregiving duties on board, or at least connected
WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION
