The paper identifies gender imbalances in the labour market and seeks to propose possible solutions for the ICT sector.
The first part of the guidance provides a brief summary of facts and statistics describing some of the challenges faced by women in the ICT sector and then setting out the possible reasons why women are underrepresented in this area. In the meantime, the second part of the document sets out guidelines that can be adopted for increasing and retaining women in the ICT sector. This guidance includes the following steps to be taken: encouraging girls to consider ICT careers; strengthening education; promoting the recruitment of women and the retention of women in employment; increasing the number of female entrepreneurs and ICT managers. These steps are also accompanied by concrete tips and bad examples of good practice.
The proposed guidelines are addressed to all stakeholders who may be concerned about the low proportion of women in the ICT sector.
