As information technology (IT) has exploded over the past decade,
the need to cultivate and sustain a well-prepared and diverse labor
force has become increasingly evident. The increasing penetration
of IT into all sectors of economy makes it necessary to include all
parts of society in IT professions. However, there is a serious
problem in attracting women to IT fields. Currently, the percentage
of women working in IT is much smaller than their percentage in the
general population, or among recipients of college degrees. This
book examines key factors behind the underrepresentation of women
in IT education and IT workforce from an economic perspective. It
compares the earnings of female and male IT professionals who have
similar degrees and experience. Using Florida data, the study
discussed in the book presents little or no gender wage difference
for IT graduates from the Community Colleges and Post-Secondary
Education programs, while an increasing gender wage difference for
the four-year college IT graduates. The book presents compelling
evidence for the wage gap in IT workforce due to gender
discrimination.
