Q4: Who should be driving up-skilling initiatives? #SASchat #datascience

[Najat Messaoud @Digitalnajat]

While North America, Western/Northern Europe, and Austria have combined scores of +65, these regions have low female participation in STEM jobs, so there is still a challenge regarding closing the gender gap especially in data roles. @saschat

[John Barnshaw @JohnBarnshaw]

@sasforums According to @LightcastData, regions with a combined score of 65+ will have a greater ability to offset the talent shortage. (1/3) #SASChat
