Focus: Accelerating change for women in tech
As the fight to encourage more women into tech rages on, experts are considering the dangers of having a lack of diversity in technology teams. The year 2018 was declared ‘The Year of the Woman’, and yet women in the tech sector are still facing unconscious bias, gender pay gaps, a lack of role models and the development of sexist AI. The stereotypes surrounding the technology industry are still putting young women off of careers in science, technology, engineering and maths (Stem).
Around half of young women don’t think tech careers are “exciting” or believe they have the necessary skills for a career in technology. But there is still hope – more than 60% of young women say they regret not studying Stem subjects for longer.
This e-guide looks at the opinions many industry experts have on how to accelerate the number of women in the technology industry and why doing so is important.

Diversity has been an issue in the IT industry for a long time, and the number of women choosing IT for a career has been stagnant over the last few years. Many firms have been trying to shift the dial to increase the number of women they have in their technology remit, but the number of women in tech has stayed steadfast at around 16%. This guide offers a collection of articles highlighting some of the prominent issues surrounding increasing the number of women in the IT industry, as well as some of the solutions that will help increase the number of women in the IT industry proposed by those on the front line. Maggie Philbin, the 2016 winner of the Computer Weekly Most Influential Woman in UK IT award talks about increasing technology diversity across the pipeline, and self-proclaimed geek Sue Black discusses how the number of women in technology has fluctuated since the 80s. These articles encompass how the industry as a whole is trying to tackle a lack of diversity in the technology sector, and how it hopes the gender landscape will look in the future.
