Why does tech have such a widespread diversity imbalance and how can we address it?
Today, hundreds of the biggest companies in Silicon Valley are overwhelmingly male and white . A little closer to home, diversity remains a key challenge for the UK tech industry with only 15% of the overall sector coming from BAME backgrounds. Gender diversity is disappointingly low too, at 19% compared to an average of 49% in other sectors.It’s a common misconception that the gender gap in tech is primarily a pipeline issue; that there are simply not enough girls studying maths and science.
Coding is all about solving problems and giving instructions to computers, systems or software to operate in certain ways. If all coders were white males, then code represents only one way of solving a problem. This ‘encoded prejudice’ is not good for teams or projects, and can have a direct influence on a final product.
