Gender diversity in computing: are we making any progress?

Yes, there are more women enrolling in and staying in computer science degree programs, but one should not overstate the improvement. All US academic degree data must be analyzed against a significant shift in the overall undergraduate pool. From 1966 to 2015, the US undergraduate population shifted from 42% to 57% women, requiring that you be very careful with how you evaluate disciplinary data. During 1989-2006, between 1% and 2% of women's degrees were earned in CS, and since then it has been less than 1% each year. While women are heading in the front doors of companies, they are hemorrhaging out the side and back doors. Approximately 45% of women entering tech leave within five years while only 17% of men leave.
