Abstract

The gender imbalance in computer science in the U.S. and other countries has attracted much attention. This paper presents - for comparison - the computing-related gender ratios in Mauritius, a developing country in the Indian Ocean. These ratios suggest that far from being a universal phenomenon, the gender imbalance in the U.S. is a cultural problem.
