Based on a recent survey conducted by the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap, 52% of women feel that technology is male industry, while almost a third or 32% believer gender bias is still a major obstacle in the recruitment process.
These findings prove industry professionals need to make more of an effort to not only change perceptions around technology, but to also support and inspire women to enter the field of technology.
By refusing what these women deserve, the technology industry will risk closing off key growth from female talent and will further support the gender disparity that currently remains.
