by Moreover, the percentage of women in all tech-related careers has actually decreased over the last two years.
This proves that the gender pay gap in tech remains a significant issue, with women in software engineering reportedly earning 93 cents for every dollar that men in the field make.
Global gender disparities in the tech industry
The situation varies significantly across different regions, with some countries making more progress than others.
Nordic countries, for instance, have generally achieved higher rates of female representation in tech roles, while many other nations continue to struggle with deeply embedded cultural and structural barriers.
However, the fundamental challenges facing women in technology remain remarkably consistent across geographical boundaries, suggesting as the study points out, that this is a systemic issue requiring coordinated global solutions.
This disparity is even more pronounced for women of colour, with Latina and Black women typically earning around US$52,000 per annum compared to US$85,000 for white, non-Hispanic men.
