Recent analyses and reports highlight a narrowing gender gap in the technology sector across advanced economies, with notable increases in women's share of tech jobs. Between 2019 and the end of 2023, women's share of tech jobs rose from 31% to 35% in the US, from 23% to 25.2% across the EU, and from 29% to over 32% in the UK, according to the Financial Times. However, challenges remain, as indicated by the World Bank's report stating that women on average have just 64% of the legal protections that men do, a decrease from the previously estimated 77%, as revealed in the 10th annual Women, Business and the Law report. The World Bank also emphasized that closing the gender gap could significantly boost the global GDP by more than 20%. This economic potential is underscored by discriminatory laws and practices that hinder women's participation in the workforce or in starting businesses. Additionally, the representation of women in leadership roles within the tech industry and beyond still shows room for improvement, with the number of women Fortune 500 chief executives and board members in the US standing at 10.6% and 30.4% respectively, while in Europe, 1 in 3 women hold an executive position. The question of whether these developments truly reflect women's experiences in the tech sector remains, especially as the world marks #InternationalWomensDay.
