N2 - In this paper we analyse the state of women in IT occupations in the UK. Although the growing UK IT industry is experiencing skills shortages, there is a declining trend in the representation of women. Using data from nationwide surveys and case study research, the paper aims to increase our understanding of gender occupational segregation in the UK IT industry. Our findings suggest that even though the IT industry does not exclude women, it does little to promote them or even to retain them in the field.
