This indicator measures the representation of women among graduates in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) programs at the tertiary education level, expressed as a percentage of all graduates in the field. It highlights the gender dynamics within a rapidly growing and vital sector, reflecting not only educational access but also the potential for women to contribute to technological innovation and leadership. Monitoring this percentage is crucial for understanding trends in gender equality in education, identifying barriers to female participation, and fostering policies that encourage a more balanced workforce. Ultimately, increasing the female share of graduates in ICT can enhance diversity in problem-solving and creativity, thereby enriching the field as a whole.
