Inhalt: "A review of the literature indicated that few empirical studies have been conducted
on either what factors influence or what factors deter women from pursuing information
technology (IT) careers. Much of the information that is available is anecdotal. Several
studies have focused on broader areas of women in science and/or technology; however,
information technology is rarely separated out as a specific field of study, possibly
because it is a relatively new field. Further, most studies have focused on girls
and young women in the K-12 education system. There are few studies of college women
and even fewer of special populations such as re-entry women or minorities. Additional
research on women's career choices relative to information technology is needed."
