A chart displays 8 squares, representing various technology roles in Europe. Each square contains 100 smaller squares, with portions colored in blue to represent the share of those tech roles held by women. At the upper end, with 46%, are roles in product design and management, and at the bottom end are roles in DevOps and work on the cloud computing, with only 8% held by women. The final square represents the average share of women in all tech industry roles, at 22%.
