More specifically, society wonders why there are not more women involved in computing. Statistics on women's representation in all levels of the postsecondary academic pipeline, and in professions outside of the academy, have been bleak for decades. In response to this, social scientists have taken great interest in understanding why this cultural phenomenon exists. Although women's underrepresentation may seem intractable due to many years of stagnancy, we urge readers to take heart, and capitalize on the cultural climate, which places great emphasis on promoting gender equity and diversity in computing.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>In this article, we review a number of factors that explain women's low participation in and attrition from computing, which have been developed through empirical research. We then articulate actionable items that can be implemented \"on the ground\" in classrooms and professional settings, as well as \"on the books\" at the administrative and public policy level. We conclude by urging readers to consider this a \"people's issue\" rather than a \"women's issue\", because all people can benefit from environments, cultural beliefs and policies that espouse inclusivity and equity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/2695577.2695578","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,16]],"date-time":"2014-12-16T13:39:54Z","timestamp":1418737194000},"page":"5-8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Now what?"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"Jane","family":"Stout","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computing Research Association, Washington DC"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tracy","family":"Camp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Colorado School of Mines Golden, Colorado"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","author":"Zweben S.","year":"2014","unstructured":"S.
