This analysis explores the count of women in the technology industry using a dataset from HackerRank's Survey of 2018. I have used python libraries pandas,numpy and matplotlib for graphs.
- The percentage of women in the tech industry is very low compared to the men.
- The distribution of age for women and men in the workforce, in general, is visualized using column graph, where we can see the count of men is significantly higher than women.
- Analysis of age distribution of Women in workforce revealed that the percentage of youth/young women in workforce is more and starts decreasing from 35+ .
- Analysis of the 'Technology' field shows a too high column of men in tech compared to women in tech, i.e. approx 4:1 ratio of men:women in technology.
- Further breakdown by gender and 'CurrentRole' visualized using bar plots reflects that majority of women in tech are currently students which indicates the rise of awareness of technology in women in recent years. So we should continue providing support and guidance to young women through special programs sessions.
- Also the current role breakdown shows that a major chunk of women in tech are Software engineers, Full Stack developers, Back-end developers, web developers, and so on. This shows that the awareness for other roles in technology is less in women so we should arrange webinars and workshops to provide women for information and exposure to other roles.
