Women remain underrepresented across the tech sector, with the gap beginning in education, where fewer than 20% of A-level Computer Science entrants are girls.
The Women in Tech Taskforce was established to address the barriers holding women back: to support more women to enter, stay and lead in tech. The Taskforce is currently focused on retention and progression, and is developing policy recommendations in these areas. It will turn to education and career pathways later this year, with recommendations to follow in due course.
The Taskforce will draw on insights from its Call for Evidence and members' expertise in developing recommendations. The Government is also reaching one million pupils through TechYouth, inspiring girls to consider AI and frontier technology careers.
