From my experience (in North West England) having worked many contracts in both the private and public sector, I'd say there are far fewer than one in five computer programmers is female; I'd guess it was closer to 1/15.
Of course, and this is all completely anecdotal, but at my first job after university (at a medical data company), there was only one woman in the 'software' section, and about 70 men.
It's a pity.
- etfb 13y agoThe Rule of Steves says that, in any workplace, the number of female programmers will never exceed the number of programmers named Steve. I worked one place where that wasn't true, but only because it was overrun with Johns rather than Steves.
