I don't know, I think it's worth trying to at least understand where the challenge lies. Maybe it is some linear progression where every person starts out with the same motivation to be a developer, and faces increasingly more hurdles till they either choose something else or succeed. Or maybe it's pretty easy to get to a certain point, but then there's some filter hurdle like toxic workplaces or university experiences that changes things. Or maybe some people just naturally have more interest in other things. The better we understand the situation, the better we can allocate resources to address any inequities that do exist.
