This is your Women in Business podcast.
Welcome to Women in Business, where we explore the challenges and triumphs of women navigating the current economic landscape. Today, we're focusing on the tech industry, a sector that's both rapidly evolving and critically in need of diverse perspectives.
Let's dive right in with our first discussion point: the current state of women in tech. According to recent statistics, women make up only 27.6% of the technology workforce, a number that's modestly on the rise after a decline during the pandemic[1]. This underrepresentation is not just a matter of equality; it's also a missed opportunity for innovation. Companies like StrongDM, which started as a women-led startup, are leading the way in fostering diverse and inclusive workforces.
Our second point is about the challenges women face in tech careers. A staggering 50% of women who enter the technology field abandon it by the age of 35, citing reasons such as job dissatisfaction and discriminatory behavior[3]. This attrition rate is 45% higher than that of men, highlighting the need for systemic changes to support women in tech. Initiatives like the Women in Tech Global Conference 2025, with its Chief in Tech Summit, Key Tech Summit, and Career Growth Summit, are crucial in providing women with the tools and networks to advance their careers.
Third, we need to talk about the skills shortage in tech. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that computer science research jobs will grow 19% by 2026, but companies are struggling to recruit and retain talent[3]. Increasing the number of women in tech could help fill this gap. Events like the Women in Tech Global Summit, held from April 23-25, 2025, in Osaka, Japan, are pivotal in addressing this issue by bringing together industry leaders and women in tech to discuss solutions.
Fourth, let's discuss the impact of remote work on women in tech. While remote work has offered women more flexibility, it has also led to burnout and a decline in female representation in the industry[3]. Companies need to rethink their remote work policies to better support women and ensure that they have equal opportunities for advancement.
Lastly, we need to highlight the importance of mentorship and networking for women in tech. Podcasts like this one, along with initiatives like the Women in Tech Global Council, are crucial in providing women with the resources and support they need to succeed. By sharing stories and advice, we can create a multiplier effect that empowers more women to pursue careers in tech.
In conclusion, navigating the current economic landscape in tech as a woman is challenging, but it's also an opportunity for growth and innovation. By addressing these issues and supporting women in tech, we can create a more inclusive and diverse industry that benefits everyone. Thank you for joining us on this episode of Women in Business.
