Booking.com Research Points to a Positive Outlook for Women Working in Tech, Despite Facing More Challenges Than Men

Amsterdam (ots/PRNewswire) -

New global research from Booking.com (https://www.booking.com/),
digital e-commerce and technology leader, reveals that more than
three in five women (64%) globally say that being female positively
impacts their ability to pursue a career in tech. The research,
conducted among women who work in tech and female students interested
in pursuing a career in the industry, explores the continuing gender
diversity challenge in the technology sector and the perceptions and
experiences of women when it comes to careers in tech.

Despite the appeal of the tech sector and the perceived
opportunities, women still have reservations, and at certain key
touchpoints in their pursuit of a tech career, view being female as
more detrimental. For more than half (52%), this is the case because
of the tech sector's largely male-dominated workforce, followed by
nearly a third (32%) who cite gender bias during the recruitment
process as a hurdle. Seventy-seven percent still acknowledge that
they face more challenges to grow and succeed than men.
