How many female Android app developers are there in the world?

"The mobile ecosystem is diverse and filled with creative minds who are passionate about apps. An average person probably pictures app developers as mysterious individuals hunched over a keyboard feverishly writing code … code that has the power to run our lives.

The average person may have a set image of app developers in their mind, but the truth is more mundane. App developers are just like everybody else. They come in all shapes and sizes, cover a variety of ages and want to make money. And they are overwhelmingly male.

According to a global survey of more than 1,000 developers by mobile advertising platform InMobi, the average developer is a 31- to 35-year-old man with less than three of years of app development experience earning approximately $6,000 per month. InMobi’s State of Mobile App Developers 2016 report said that only 6% of developers are female and a mere 16% of all developers have more than five years of app building experience.

The survey focused on three regions of established mobile app development—North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific—with an aim to provide a snapshot of the current developer community. A total of 1,089 responses were received and the report highlighted a number of disparities within the ecosystem itself."

"The USA is taking the lead position worldwide with 4,3 million software developers.

According to Zippia, from these 4,3 million software developers, the total number of mobile app developers employed in the US is arround 4,052.

According to mobile applications developers, the most recent estimates we have are from 2019, with 26.4 million app developers globally, of which around 6 million develop solely for Android, and 2.8 million focused on iOS.

Android Developers

An android developer designs software and applications for Android devices and the Google Play Store. These software developers create apps used on Android phones and tablets. Android Developers can either work in-house, or they can be employed by a custom software development agency.

As any type of developers, Android app developers must be highly technical and have proficiency in coding and programming languages such as Java and Kotlin. Android Developers also have to be up-to-date when it comes to tech and mobile trends in order to make the best apps.

Gender

Even though we the world strives for gender equality, we are still a little far from it within the software development sector. According to Zippia, 17.6% of all mobile app developers are women, while 71.2% are men. Plus, unfortunately as of 2021, women developers earned an average of 93% of what men earned, that is 93¢ for every $1.

Age

The average age of mobile applications developers is 39 years old. However, when we look at the ages of mobile app developers in general, 40+ years old employees represent the highest of the population. If we break it down in three categories, developers between 20 and 30 years old represent the 18%, 30-40 years old the 36% and 40+ years old a solid 46%."
