In 2023, Brazil, Russia, and Mexico showed strong contributions to global female new entrants to tertiary education in ICT, accounting for significant shares compared to other countries. Brazil saw a nearly 19% rise, leading the cohort in 2024. Other countries like the UK and Israel also posted notable increases. Conversely, some countries, including France and Iceland, experienced marginal declines. Over the five-year span, varying CAGRs highlight Brazil and Israel as growth leaders, whereas Nordic nations like Iceland show slower progress.
Looking ahead, countries with substantial growth like Brazil and Israel will likely continue driving increased participation rates, while others may face challenges unless they implement targeted initiatives to inspire female students to pursue ICT-related fields actively. Monitoring economic and educational policy changes that could influence these trends will be crucial.
