> When we break down differences in years since learning to code by gender, we notice some retention problems. We see a big drop off at the 10-14 year mark when compared to men, though we've seen some improvement from last year's survey. This is consistent with other research that women leave tech jobs at higher rates than men.
I'm sure that women leave tech jobs at higher rates than men, but hasn't there been a stronger focus on educating women for tech jobs in recent years as well? In other words, if more women have been learning to code in the past decade, then I'd assume that that also leads to a larger percentage of women in tech having learned to code more recently.
