the number of software developers aged 55 to 64 years increased from 87,000 (8.3%) in 2011 to 195,000 (10.7%) in 2019 in the USA.
But given how much the overall pool has grown, that isn't the relevant stat.
The relevant stat is how many developers aged 45 to 54 in 2011 are STILL EMPLOYED in the field? That's where you see the ageism.
In other industries, not that many people voluntarily abandon a career path at 45 for another industry.
