Best Practices for even Gender Distribution | Gender Report on Technology

Untited 1Development in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) domain in the past decade have provided us with new tools that have become an integral part of our everyday life. These include mobile phones, navigators and electronic payments, to name but a few. These developments have made a significant contribution to Europe’s economic growth and have been made possible by the contribution of trained specialists in the various technical areas.

However, a worrying decrease in the number of skilled engineers entering the ICT profession has been observed in recent years. At the same time many of those who are working in the field, especially women, are leaving to move to other professions, a phenomenon known as the “leaky pipeline”. This study highlights the successful practices of a number of European organisations to attract talented young people to the ICT domain.

By providing a working environment conducive to efficiency, creativity, and ultimately greater productivity these organisations have also been successful in encouraging their existing personnel to stay. I hope that the best practices identified in this study will give the reader some ideas and the encouragement to implement them.
