It’s easy to say now is not a great time to be a woman in tech. Women are still in the minority. They hold only 24% of computer science jobs, down from 37% in 1995, and occupy roughly 11% of executive positions in Silicon Valley. Gender ratios are as low as 1 female to every 4 male engineers in top tech companies like Google.
And things aren’t looking up – especially when women receive lower salary offers than men for the same job at the same company 63% of the time and their earnings are on average 29% less.
It’s not all bad news, though. All female support networks and networking sites dedicated to providing platforms for women in tech have sprung up in both the virtual and physical world, and it’s this outpouring of support and a dedication to profiling role models in the sector which can drive the change needed to increase female participation.TOP FEMALE INFLUENCERS IN TECH
YouTube has increased the number of female employees there from 24% to 30% from 2014 Over that same time period, the number of women working at Google has grown by just 1% to 31%. In the last 12 months, Facebook, Apple, eBay, and Microsoft hired 1% more women. LinkedIn increased their female staff by 3%. Google’s gender ratio stayed the same.
Female tech leaders of the world’s most powerful women are in strong positions to start to turn things around in the tech world.
