HTML
Detail of outcome
This call for evidence sought insights into:
- practical examples of initiatives that have supported greater participation, progression and leadership of women and other underrepresented groups in tech, and how and why these worked in practice
- how emerging technologies are reshaping the tech workforce, including changes to skills, roles and career pathways, and the new barriers and opportunities this creates for women and other underrepresented groups
The call for evidence received 570 responses from across the UK tech sector, including people in technical and leadership roles, founders, academics, students, charities and organisations. The responses provide valuable evidence on the barriers affecting the entry, progression and leadership of women and other underrepresented groups in tech, as well as the opportunities and challenges presented by emerging technologies.
The responses will be used to inform the Taskforce’s work and ensure its policy recommendations are grounded in evidence and real insights from those working in the sector.
