The number of women in technology roles increased by just 2% year-on-year, from 25% in 2020 to 27% in 2021.
That's according to the latest findings from the Tech Talent Charter (TTC), which analyzed data from 580 organizations that employ a combined 196,179 tech workers in the UK – an estimated 15% of the current UK tech-skilled labor force.
Across sectors, marketing was found to have the most gender-diverse workforce, with a median of 45% tech roles being held by women and other gender minorities. Cyber security, electronics, and health sectors were among the least gender-diverse, with some surveyed health companies not employing a single woman within a technology-based role.

Similarly to previous years, micro-organizations tended to have the most women-held roles (median of 33%), with the proportion decreasing with the number of overall employees.
