EngineeringUK Releases Updated Workforce Data

New workforce data released by EngineeringUK reveals there are 6.4 million people — around a fifth of the workforce — employed in engineering and technology roles in the U.K. In addition, women remain significantly underrepresented in engineering and technology at only 16.9% of the workforce, compared to 56% of other occupations. U.K. minority ethnic individuals make up 14% of the workforce, compared to 18% of other occupations, and disabled people make up 14% of the engineering and technology workforce, lower than the 19% across all other occupations. EngineeringUK has partnered with the Royal Academy of Engineering; Women’s Engineering Society; BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT; and Women into Science and Engineering to address the underrepresentation of women with a collective mission to increase the number of girls in education pathways to engineering and technology at 18, focusing on key areas influencing girls and young women’s engineering and technology career choices.
