Status Report on Women and Men in the IT Workplace

Abstract

A profile of women and men in the IT field along personal, family, job, and career-related variables has broad implications for the placement, development, promotion, and retention of women IT professionals. Among the study's major findings is that impressive gains in employment have not increased the numbers of women holding managerial positions nor resolved the work/life conflicts, lower salaries, and incompatibility between career orientation and job tasks experienced by women in the IT field.
