The bar chart illustrates the percentage of men in senior development roles at IBM, Microsoft, and Apple between 1980 and 2010.

Overall, IBM and Microsoft saw substantial growth in the proportion of men in senior positions over the 30-year period, while Apple’s growth was comparatively moderate. In 1980, Apple had the highest participation rate at around 25%, with Microsoft slightly lower at 10% and IBM at just 5%. However, by 1995, IBM had overtaken both companies, showing steady growth, reaching around 30%, while Microsoft and Apple remained relatively stable at 20% and 25%, respectively.

By 2010, IBM’s growth was the most significant, with over 60% of senior development roles occupied by men, compared to Microsoft’s 50%. Apple, despite fluctuations, remained the lowest, finishing at 25%.

In summary, while all companies experienced growth in the proportion of men in senior positions, IBM had the most significant increase, and Apple showed the least change.
