The 2023 data showed Poland leading in female doctorate entrants in ICT with a significant increase of 36.86% from the previous year, followed by Iceland with high participation. Countries like Chile, Romania, and Ireland also witnessed notable growth above 6%. Hungary, with a 9.37% rise, and Austria, with an increase of 7.12%, showed positive trends, while Estonia, Italy, and Israel experienced declines. Strikingly, Croatia saw a sharp decrease of 25.39%. The average growth per year across five years, CAGR, might indicate moderate global hikes, influenced by steady performance in most European countries.
Future trends to watch include the potential for increasing female participation in ICT doctorates across countries with traditionally lower entries. Initiatives promoting STEM education for women might drive upticks, particularly in education systems adapting to prioritize inclusivity and gender parity in technological fields.
