Where are those numbers from? Those numbers would imply 20-40% at computer science in universities as well. AFAIK that isn't the case in Europe or the US.

Depends where in Europe.

In Portugal and Spain, many universities are full of females on CS degrees. Already in the 90's my faculty had around 10%.

FOSDEM also has a good presence of females per room.

Meanwhile in Germany they seem not to like CS.
