The gender gap in the tech industry will not be closed by the UK's education system alone - and this is the same globally.
With an estimated one qualified woman for every 115 tech roles in the UK by 2025, more needs to be done to close the digital skills gap. While the UK’s tech job market is predicted to grow six times to be worth £30bn by 2025, we estimate that there will only be one qualified woman for every 115 roles (in the UK) as things stand.
This report highlights that the gender gap in the tech industry will not be closed by the UK’s education system alone.
