Priorities for diversity in a UK tech workforce

There are over 1.6 million workers in the UK tech industry. However, the sector has the lowest proportion of workers aged over 50 of any of the UK STEM sectors, fewer women in the workplace than compared to other sectors, a lower percentage of disabled workers than average for the rest of the UK workforce, disproportionate representations of ethnic groups, and a significant underrepresentation of certain socio-economic groups, particularly at a senior level.
