So this study shows that unfair treatment is a less important reason for women leaving tech than it is for Asian and white men.
Why, then, are other people commenting here claiming that bad treatment of women is the main reason they leave tech, and at alarming numbers, no less?
- geofft 9y agoIf the raw fraction of women leaving is much higher than it is for Asian and white men, then the net effect is that a higher percentage of women are leaving because of unfair treatment than men are. Also, it's certainly the case that unfair treatment is a problem worth solving regardless of gender. (I don't think the design of that particular study was equipped to answer the question of what the raw fraction is / whether the numbers are in fact alarming, so people who are making that claim are not making it solely on the basis of information in that study.)
