This kind of studies are indeed really difficult to make, it's a sensitive subject so not everyone is going to report it the same way, you need to find the right group of people, a sample large enough and compare with across industries which is even harder to do. So I'm convinced personally there's some problems with women in tech which is partially due to the low amount of women going into tech but I think that's really hard to quantify in real numbers.

why do you need to compare across industries, exactly? even if we found the same % in every industry we'd still need to take action.
The link seems to insist there is a problem with women in tech, even if the study is correct, it could just mean that women are not treated the same way in other industries either. It does not stop to take action indeed, I agree with that, I was just reacting to the study itself.
