European study: CS dropout rates tied to national culture

Evidently, dropout rates for women in CS are influenced more by the national culture than by any particular personality profile. In other words, women don't drop out because of some inability inherent to all women; the culture around them is a more important factor.

This is a European study, and the US, with its myriad subcultures, resembles Europe in many ways. It'd be interesting to see a US study that looked at similar issues.

Read the study yourself. It's got lots of other good stuff, too.
