In 2024, a global developer survey revealed that approximately ** percent of the developers identified as male, while the share of female developers globally stood at around ** percent. This majority representation of males in the developer community underscores the historical trend of male dominance in the tech industry and highlights the challenges and barriers that women may face in entering or advancing in this field.

According to a global software developer survey in 2022, the vast majority of developers are males, accounting for ***** percent of all respondents. Female developers amounted to only **** percent of all respondents, demonstrating the male-dominating reality of software development jobs. Gender imbalance in the tech industry The tech industry has an overwhelming gender imbalance, in which women at leading tech companies tend to be the minority. Consider Dell’s workforce and Intel’s workforce as an example. In both leading tech companies, women make up only around ** percent of the workforce. Computing related positions in the United States vary on gender breakdown, with computer hardware engineers ranking the lowest in terms of gender diversity as of late. Diversity & inclusion initiatives When tech industry CEOs and founders were asked whether diversity and inclusion (D&I) initiatives were effective, **** indicated that they were not effective. This comes at an interesting time, especially given the overall gender imbalance in the tech industry. Not to mention, the majority of senior management positions within the IT industry are dominated by men. Diversity and inclusion initiatives could help to resolve workplace harassment and unequal treatment that many female executives experience within the tech industry today.

In the Ukraine in 2020, ** percent of software developers are female. At the other end of the spectrum of European countries in terms of gender composition is Lithuania, where about ** percent of software developers are women. Notably, ***** from the top five countries with the highest share of women in software development are Baltic states. Generally, there are ***** women developers for every ten developers in Europe. Software developers are high in demand Software developers are high in demand on the job market. As software development is a broad category that includes a wide variety of specific tasks and skills to perform the job, there is a great gap between available talent and required staff. In general, software developers are involved in the development process of software, including the analysis of users’ needs or assessing the level of security to ensure that software projects meet requirements. Global gender imbalance in tech industry remains pervasive Overall, the gender composition of professionals employed in the tech industry remains imbalanced, as more males than females are generally employed by global tech companies. This observation can also be made when zooming in on technical positions. For example, women more commonly occupy user experience (UX) designer positions than developer positions.

A game developer survey in 2021 found that 61percent of responding game developers were men, while 30 percent were women. The share of female game developers is up from 21 percent in 2017. Approximately eight percent of game developers did not identify as either men or women.

As of 20223, the salary of female game and digital media developers in Sweden reached 93 percent of male developers' salaries. This means that men earned more on a monthly basis than women. Game and digital media developers develop and program games and other interactive media, including graphics and digital animations.

A survey conducted between late 2021 and early 2022 found that only **** percent of software developers worldwide are female. This underrepresentation is indicative of a broader gender diversity issue in the tech industry.

The objective of this study was to examine the distribution of prestigious speaking roles by gender at gambling studies conferences to better understand the state of gender representation within the field. Keyword searches were conducted in the fall of 2019. A total of 16 conferences that occurred between 2010–2019 and comprising 882 prestigious speaking opportunities were included. Quantitative analysis (i.e., t-tests, chi-squared posthoc tests) was undertaken to evaluate the representation of women speakers and if proportions were the same across genders for speakers. There were significantly less women than men within prestigious speaking roles at gambling studies conferences with only 30.2% of speakers being women (p < .001). This underrepresentation of women was consistent across conference location, speaker continent, speaker role, time, and across the majority of conferences. Women held prestigious speaking roles less frequently than men (M = 1.48 vs. 1.76; p < .001). A 9 to 1 (p < .001) ratio of men to women was found among top 10 most frequent prestigious speakers. While there was a higher proportion of women than men among student speakers and there was no significant gender disparity among early career researchers, there was a significantly lower proportion of women than men among speakers who hold more senior academic positions. There is an issue of gender disparity in prestigious speaking roles at conferences within the gambling studies field. This study highlights the need to counteract gender disparities and make room for diversity within the field.

As of 2022, women accounted for around 26.2 percent of all employees working in computer and mathematical occupations in the United States. During the same period, around 21.4 percent of all U.S. computer programmers were of Asian ethnicity.

In 2024, women accounted for only 20 percent of employees at the Swedish video game developer Starbreeze. This figure represents a 2 percentage point increase from the previous year, where the share of female employees has stagnated at around 16 percent of the workforce.

The Tathmini GBV study was a cluster randomized trial to assess the impact of a comprehensive health facility- and community-based program delivered through the HIV/AIDS program platform on reduction in gender-based violence and improved care for survivors. Twelve health facilities and surrounding communities in the Mbeya Region of Tanzania were randomly assigned to intervention or control arms. Population-level effects were measured through two cross-sectional household surveys of women ages 15–49, at baseline (n = 1,299) and at 28 months following program scale-out (n = 1,250). Delivery of gender-based violence services was assessed through routine recording in health facility registers. Generalized linear mixed effects models and analysis of variance were used to test intervention effects on population and facility outcomes, respectively. At baseline, 52 percent of women reported experience of recent intimate partner violence. The odds of reporting experience of this violence decreased by 29 percent from baseline to follow-up in the absence of the intervention (time effect OR = 0.71, 95% CI: 0.57–0.89). While the intervention contributed an additional 15 percent reduction, the effect was not statistically significant. The program, however, was found to contribute to positive, community-wide changes including less tolerance for certain forms of violence, more gender equitable norms, better knowledge about gender-based violence, and increased community actions to address violence. The program also led to increased utilization of gender-based violence services at health facilities. Nearly three times as many client visits for gender-based violence were recorded at intervention (N = 1,427) compared to control (N = 489) facilities over a 16-month period. These visits were more likely to include provision of an HIV test (55.3% vs. 19.6%, p = .002). The study demonstrated the feasibility and impact of integrating gender-based violence and HIV programming to combat both of these major public health problems. Further opportunities to scale out GBV prevention and response strategies within HIV/AIDS service delivery platforms should be pursued.Trial Registration: Pan African Clinical Trials Registry No. PACTR201802003124149.
