Why are there so few women in tech? And does it matter?

We talk to Dr Siân Brooke of the Data Science Institute at LSE, who researches how technologies perpetuate gendered inequality, to find out if it’s because men are inherently better coders.

Unsurprisingly, it isn’t. In this video, we explore the hidden biases in the tech industry, discover the impact of gender on code acceptance, and investigate why diversity in coding is crucial for innovation and security.
