由于近年来信息技术的快速发展、信息技术对增长和生产力的影响、信息技术工作人员短缺以及信息技术领域的性别平等，妇女在信息技术领域任职人数不足的问题关系到国家利益。学术研究将矛头指向早期社会化方面的偏见、数学焦虑、计算机的男子气概、榜样的稀缺，以及女性对关系型工作的偏好。对一所少数民族大学计算机科学和计算机工程专业的学生进行的一项研究发现，还有一些其他因素，比如IT课程要求与学生的家庭和工作责任之间的紧张关系。
The issue of underrepresentation of women in information technology (IT) is of national interest due to the rapid growth of IT in recent years, the impact of IT on growth and productivity, the shortage of IT workers, and the gender equity in IT. Scholarly research has pointed its finger at bias in early socialization, math anxiety, masculinity of computers, the scarcity of role models, and women’s preference for relational work. A study of students majoring in computer science and computer engineering in a minority-serving university found some additional factors such as tension between demands imposed by IT curricula and students’family and work responsibilities.
