@ 2015/06/10A report from the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES) said the number of women working in the digital sector has fallen from 33 percent to 26 percent.
And that’s during a time when digital skills and vacancies for jobs are at an all time high in the UK economy.
Programmers and web developers are in particularly short supply, said UKCES.
Karen Price, who helps run a network of employers in the sector described the news as “very disappointing”.
She said: “We want to show women and girls that there are great opportunities in the digital sector, and that the rewards are great too.”
