In many industries, unequal gender representation is a concern. IT appears to be one of the most male industries, but that is changing. Women make about 25% of CODE CLANS' workforce. They don't just work in HR, marketing, or administration, contrary popular belief. In all divisions, including design and development, we hire excellent female employees.

Statistics about women in technology

Let's take a look at what's going on in the United States. Women are always outnumbered in IT enterprises in all of these nations. According to Womenintech.co.uk:

We can't discuss the IT industry without considering the general labor shortage. Women make up only 47% of all employment in the United States. According to a 2015 study, women only hold 25% of the roles in information technology organizations. Despite the fact that the employment market has been improving steadily since 1990, these inequities persist

Why are there more males in IT than women?

We should go back to high school and start from the beginning. Female students, on average, receive higher marks than male pupils, according to studies. However, for some reason, males dominate computer science degrees in universities, accounting for 82 percent of students, one of the largest gender disparities in college courses.

Some criticize men and women for traditional roles — females are taught from an early age to be meek and compliant. We don't provide children toys or pastimes that encourage logical thinking, arithmetic abilities, or an interest in computer science or technology in general. The promotion of career routes is still dependent on conventional gender skills.

Women in technology face a number of challenges

When pursuing a profession in programming or any other field of mobile or web development, women will face several challenges. It may be exhausting to battle them. The tech industry is already changing, but at a glacial pace and with rigidity.

Although the gender wage gap in computing is said to be narrower than in other areas, it still exists. Women in IT often feel compelled to show their worth to their coworkers and bosses, despite the fact that they get paid less for the same amount of labor. This is a source of dissatisfaction, and it's why women leave computer jobs at a higher rate than males.

When it comes to freshly formed businesses, males are more likely than women to invite their male friends to join them. This is because hiring managers like to choose someone who shares their interests and worldview. Men are more likely to become leaders and employees inside tech businesses in the tech field, where women are underrepresented – the odds for the opposite gender are significantly uneven.

Why do we require more female technologists?

Gender diversity is less important in male-dominated businesses, according to studies. This is a mistake, because removing such inequities improves everyone's working environment. Discrimination is less common in such workplaces, and there is less of a need to continuously prove oneself. When women take over leadership roles in the digital business, the first and last fundraising valuations are reportedly much higher - 64 percent and 49 percent, respectively. Website and app developers who are female are said to make better judgments and be more innovative. And these are undoubtedly qualities that every team can benefit from.

When compared to companies with a less diverse board of directors, Fortune 500 companies with a majority of female board members saw a 40% increase in sales. Women are more likely to bring stronger communication skills, innovative ideas, and high morale to the table, all of which should be valued by IT organizations.
