Booking.com Research Reveals that Women in Tech Are Committed to Staying in the Industry, and Are Taking the Lead on Achieving Gender Parity

Amsterdam (ots/PRNewswire) -

New global research from Booking.com (https://www.booking.com/),
digital e-commerce and technology leader, reveals that more than four
in five women (83%) working in the tech industry globally say that
they intend to remain in tech for the next five to ten years. Beyond
their own commitment, women in tech are passionate about encouraging
new entrants to join the sector, with nine in ten (89%) female
professionals agreeing that they would recommend a career in the
industry to high school and undergraduate students.

Women globally say that women working in tech have an opportunity
to improve gender diversity themselves, including by sharing their
experiences of the tech industry with other women (46%) and becoming
a mentor to them (44%). However, they also believe tech companies
have an obligation to invest further in initiatives to support them,
with 51% calling for hiring practices designed to attract a more
diverse workforce. Only the same percentage expects to see this
change within the next five years, suggesting that companies should
move faster in effecting change.
