    That’s an Estonia thing, not a Europe thing. Estonia is notorious for being the land of IT. In the rest of Europe, IT is heavily male-dominated. I just finished an IT tech/sysadmin training in France: out of 15 people, 3 were women, and it was probably one of the best ratio they’ve ever had. It seems there are a bit more women in the programming courses recently, though, but they’re still a minority.

    At my current job, out of a little over 100 people in various IT teams, 10 are women.

      Ah, that explains the time when I worked for a company in Denmark and whenever everyone across Europe got together in the same room it was a massive sausage fest. I always though that was weird.

        Yeah, I’m also in europe, so the gap in IT for girls is horrible. In the last decade more and more are seen in the area and that’s amazing, but still much to do. When I was in university a few years ago, the year I entered there was 8 girls in the IT course compared to the hundreds of boys.

        On the following year there were like 12 girls in the freshman.

        So they were improving I guess.
