Women only make up 18% of comp sci majors. If you want more women in computers encourage them to study comp sci. If they don&#x27;t they may not be qualified for the jobs.<p>It is all a matter of having an interest in learning. I have African-American friends who I offered to teach them programming so they could get a job. But they refused and had no interest. It really is that a person has to have an interest in learning something  in order to be qualified for a job. The diversity problem could be not enough women and minorities with an interest in learning comp sci and programming and other things.<p>Asians have an interest in learning comp sci, which is why there are more qualified applicants from Asia and get more jobs.<p>At one time programming was done by mostly women. <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2F;smart-news&#x2F;computer-programming-used-to-be-womens-work-718061&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.smithsonianmag.com&#x2F;smart-news&#x2F;computer-programmin...</a><p>But that changed and women weren&#x27;t hired as much as men and women gave it up and then lost interest in learning.
