Gender Disparity in Computing[edit]

Insert below mention of scholars who study gender disparity in computing field.

In her 2012 book, Recoding Gender: Women’s Changing Participation in Computing, Janet Abbate examines the history of programming and how gender bias shifted the demographic of programmers. [1]

Groups such as the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe propose policies that support gender equality. One example being the Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality. All OSCE states follow policies to ensure gender equality in all work fields.[2]

Romania[edit]

Will add this within examples of gender disparity within college programs. Wikipedia page casually mentions examples from different countries, so I will just add to it and not create subheading for Romania.

In 2014, Kelly Ward, Cornelia Dragne, and Angelina J Lucas conducted a study in Romania that examined gender disparity in computing. The article features statistics of female enrollment in computing programs at Romanian universities. The main topics of the article are representation, equality vs. equity, and the masculine image of computing and how it affects opportunities for women. [4]
