According to a report from the British Computer Society, it will take the UK 283 years before women are equally represented in IT.
After adding up some numbers from 2005 to 2022, BCS calculated it would take nearly three centuries for the representation of women in the IT workforce – currently 20 per cent – to reach the average representation across the whole UK workforce, currently at 48 per cent.
The report found that progress towards the gender norm was stalling in IT jobs. Between 2018 and 2021, the proportion of women tech workers rose from 16 per cent to 20 per cent. But the same in 2022 remained the same.
