Half of women leave by age 35. How many men leave by age 35? Whats the baseline? Why doesn’t the article state this? Is 50% low?
What percent of them are married to men in tech and then leave the industry after they have kids, since they can afford to live on a single income at that point even in HCOL areas? I would guess a lot.

The paper compares women in STEM to women outside STEM (as the baseline). However, the paper tracks a cohort of high school/college students from 1979, meaning they would've reached 35 by the 1990s.

No one ( women or men) will admit to eat, love ,pray while their partners give them health insurance and stable income being a corporate drone.
Anyways this article doesnt really answer "why" despite the title.
I am a woman with a grad degree in CS. I left the field because I was BORED. The field was full of stuffy types who were only interested in money. It still is.

Try changing the field, some areas are still exciting and full of innovation in tech. Maybe be part of a small team, or even better start your own. Lots of opportunities to find funding for women-run outfits.
