このコンテンツについて
Welcome to Women in Business. Today, we’re tackling a topic vital to our future: how women are navigating the current economic landscape in the tech industry.
Let’s get right into it. In 2025, women make up just about 35 percent of the U.S. tech workforce—a big leap from the early 2000s, when the figure stood at only 9 percent, but still far from parity. At major tech companies like Amazon, women represent 45 percent of the workforce, but just 33 percent at companies like Google and Microsoft. Leadership tells a similar story: women hold only 28 to 34 percent of executive positions at these tech giants. The numbers drop to just 8 percent for chief technology officers, and only 17 percent of tech companies have women CEOs. That means when you look at the very top, women remain a minority voice.
Why does this gap persist? One of the biggest reasons is the pipeline issue—too few women pursue computer science or engineering degrees. Only 21 percent of recent computer and information science bachelor’s graduates are women. But the challenge goes beyond college. A survey by WomenTech Network found that 72 percent of women experienced gender bias impacting their promotion or leadership opportunities, while 58 percent said they don’t have equal access to networking or mentorship. If you’ve ever felt imposter syndrome, you’re not alone—85 percent of women surveyed reported struggling with self-doubt at some point in their careers.
But even with these hurdles, women in tech are making remarkable advances. Cities across the U.S., from Little Rock to Columbia, are now emerging as hotbeds for women in tech, offering competitive salaries and greater gender diversity. In places like San Jose, not only are the salaries record-high, but the momentum for women’s representation in tech is finally picking up. Flexible work and remote options, which became common during the pandemic, have also opened new doors—though they bring new challenges, like burnout and balancing home responsibilities.
Speaking of balance, work-life policies are a double-edged sword for women in tech. While remote work unlocks flexibility, 67 percent of women say these same policies can hinder their path to leadership. Why? Because organizational culture often lags behind the policies themselves, making it tough for women to get the sponsorship and recognition needed to break the glass ceiling.
Before we close, let’s get practical. If you’re a woman in tech or aiming to get there, seek out allies and surround yourself with advocates—those who’ll mention your name in a room full of opportunity. Remember, the battle for equity isn’t just about numbers, but about breaking down persistent barriers, building networks, and lifting each other up as we go.
