Recently, workforce shortage has become a popular issue in informationtechnology (IT). One solution to increasing the workforce supply is to increasethe number of female IT professionals. This is because there is genderimbalance in information technology area. To accomplish this, it is importantto suppress the influence of biases, such as the belief that men are moresuited for careers in science and technology than women, and to increase thechoice of careers available to female professionals. To help suppress theinfluence of gender bias, we analyzed the relationship between gender and codereading speed in the field of software development. Certain source codesrequire developers to use substantial memory to properly understand them, suchas those with many variables that frequently change values. Several studieshave indicated that the performance of memory differs in males and females. Totest the veracity of this claim, we analyzed the influence of gender oncode-reading speed through an experiment. Pursuant to this, we prepared fourprograms that required varied amounts of memory to properly understand them.Then, we measured the time required by each of the 17 male and 16 femalesubjects (33 subjects in total) to comprehend the different programs. Theresults suggest that there is no explicit difference between male and femalesubjects in this regard, even in the case of programs that require high memorycapacities for proper understanding.
