I think you could say train more women in tech and you would have a better staring point. The 80s and 90s were graduating more females.

From Wikipedia:

In the United States, the number of women represented in undergraduate computer science education and the white-collar information technology workforce peaked in the mid-1980s, and has declined ever since. In 1984, 37.1% of Computer Science degrees were awarded to women; the percentage dropped to 29.9% in 1989-1990, and 26.7% in 1997-1998. Figures from the Computing Research Association Taulbee Survey indicate that less than 12% of Computer Science bachelor's degrees were awarded to women at US PhD-granting institutions in 2010-11.

I graduated with an Information Systems degree and we probably had something like 30% - 35% females that I walked with.
