Women constituted 35% of all software engineers in 1990, but only 26% in 2015 Nobody needs to have been "pushed out" to cause those numbers. I'd bet that most women who were software engineers in 1990 are either retired, in upper management, or own their own businesses by now -- not "pushed out". It just means that the replacement rate is insufficient to maintain the same percentage, and that can have any number of contributing factors.
