Gender
Notes:
- The percentage of female respondents to the survey (38.5%) has increased from previous surveys. For the past 1-1/2 years, the gender ratio was very consistent (5th-31.5%, 6th-31.4%, 7th-31.3%), so an increase of 7% was quite unexpected.
- Consistent with previous survey results, European respondents continue to be predominantly male (78%).
- The gender vs. age graph shows the percentage of male respondents increasing with age, while the percentage of female respondents decreases with age. Similar slopes are found on the gender vs. experience graph. The percentage of male respondents increases with experience, while the percentage of female respondents decreases with experience.
