Tech industry still failing to attract female workers

The UK technology industry is facing a recruitment crisis because the sector cannot attract females into the industry, according to Scottish newspaper, the Sunday Herald.

Apparently, one in five IT workers are female and that figure is steadily in decline.T he sector experienced a 10% drop in the number of woman workers last year and according to Maggie Berry, editor of specialist website, womenintechnology.co.uk, the sector's inability to attract the fairer sex is effectively cutting itself off from half the talent pool.
