The topic of Women in Tech has been a focus for many years now. The tech industry has identified the broad underrepresentation of women as an issue, we’re all aware of it and yet where is the progress?

The data today is still alarming. In Europe, recent figures show that still only 17% of ICT students, 19% of ICT managers and 9% of ICT developers are women.

In the US, the situation is not much better. Statistics suggest that women make up just 24% of the tech industry, despite accounting for 47% of the labor force.

There’s a sense that ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has provided a new setback to any progress that was being made, with women often taking the greater responsibility for home-schooling children when schools were closed, as well as taking charge of other domestic needs related to the pandemic. As a result, 50% of women believe that the effects of COVID-19 have hampered their overall career progression.

Joining Talentsoft’s Neelie Verlinden to discuss these issues were:
- Carrie Goetz: CTO and 40+ year global IT executive in the US, 4 million mile international keynote speaker and named one of the 10 most influential women in tech in 2020.

- Meike Arendt: Managing Director at Ceretai, a diversity analytics and consulting firm for the European Media and Entertainment Industry, based in Germany. Previously a leader at a variety of companies in the adtech and media industries in Europe.
