One year after Coursera’s original Gender Gap in GenAI analysis, the data show clear and encouraging signs of progress. Although women remain underrepresented in GenAI learning globally, the gender gap is clearly narrowing. Women’s share of total GenAI enrollments rose from 32% in 2024 to 36% in 2025. For enterprise learners, women comprised 36% of GenAI enrollments on Coursera in 2024 and 42% in 2025. This progress is particularly encouraging given the rapid growth of GenAI participation across all demographics, indicating that women’s engagement with the technology is accelerating even faster than that of their male peers.

Several regions, countries, and courses are seeing successes on this front, particularly where GenAI education is accessible, application-driven, and supported by inclusive design. In several high-growth markets, women’s participation is accelerating faster than men’s, and, in some cases, women are completing GenAI courses at higher rates than their male peers. Together, these trends suggest that when structural barriers are reduced and GenAI skills are framed as practical, relevant, and attainable, women are eager to engage and gain these new skills at scale.
