abstract: 'Women represent over the half of university graduates in Spain. However,
the percentage of women graduating with degrees in Computing and
Engineering drops to 23\% (European Commission. {[}2016. She figures.
Brussels: Directorate-General for Research and Innovation]). Women are a
minority in the workplace in the IT sector, despite it being one of the
most dynamic industries with a positive future outlook. Existent
literature highlights that women face a variety of barriers that can
impede their progress in the workplace, mainly related to work-life
conflicts. However, the attempts carried out thus far to improve women''s
work-life balance have had little effect in this sector, where the
numbers lag behind those of other sectors. The reasons behind those
numbers must be understood. In this sense, this study aims to gain a
deeper understanding of work/personal lives of women in IT sectors
throughout the course of their lives. The results obtained from a
tailor-made survey in Spain show that women working in IT are very
work-oriented and committed to their careers and have fewer conflicts
regarding work-life balance than was expected. It was in fact age,
income and perception of gender discrimination that stood out as
significant variables that may explain the difficulties encountered. In
light of this, flexible work policies are not enough to increase the
number of women in IT, and we suggest actions that could serve to fight
stereotypes regarding gender and age in the workplace.'
