Discussion on ICT workers' pay, education, and gender breakdown

The chapter delves into a study by the central statistics office highlighting the high average annual earnings of ICT workers in Ireland in 2019, the prevalence of third-level qualifications among workers, and the significant gender gap in the ICT workforce, with men outnumbering women almost two to one. The discussion touches on potential factors contributing to this gender disparity, such as cultural challenges in the tech sector and international perspectives on gender equity in STEM fields.
