Women's Work?

from Just Plain Sense · host Christine Burns

Why do comparatively few women pursue careers in computer related technology and should we be concerned that they don't? As a computer professional turned equality and diversity specialist I don't have any simple answers, but I highlight in this piece the reasons why women have as much a role to play as men, and some of the things we should perhaps be looking at to tackle the huge gender imbalance in the parts of the industry where women could be tackling better paid roles.
