Gender Stratification in the IT Industry
Sex, Status and Social Capital
Kenneth W. Koput and Barbara A. Gutek
This illuminating monograph introduces a status-equilibrating, social capital explanation for the persistent gender stratification in the field of information technology. The authors analyze why the workforce has become increasingly male-dominated over time by looking at how pre-employment conditions provide different experiences and opportunities for women and men.
