The jobs in computing field have been a ray of light
in a gloomy economy. Through statistical analysis, women earned only 18% of
computer science degrees in 2012 cutting down from 27% in 2001. Unemployment in
this field stands at only 3.5% and the number of computing jobs is expected to
grow more than 20% by 2020.
The field of computer science and information
technology are among the nation`s rapidly enhancing occupations and the
employees are facing a tough time to fill open jobs. It is an uphill task for
the men to fulfill the demand on their own. The research studies have shown
that the declination of the women in computing field is associated with the
social influences.
A
report published last week to coincide with Computer Science Education
Week, exposes the way in which the gender divide in computer science is
becoming more extreme. With the title Half Empty the
report points out:
“Men have surged back into computing in the
past five years, but women have not recovered from last decade’s slump.” (http://changetheequation.org/half-empty)
The most common perception of computer science as a
solitary profession can isolate girls as well as women. This insight is
nurtured by popular society which portrays women in computing as eccentric and
odd figures.
Bentham

publishes review and research articles, and guest edited thematic issues on
recent patents in all areas of computer science. The journal is essential
reading for all researchers involved in computer science. This journal is
indexed in Compendex, Scopus and Pubs Hub. For further details about this
