Let’s join the change and make diversity matter

 

Although there is more and more talk about the role women have in the tech industry, it is still an issue how underrepresented they are in the tech world.

 

Diversity is one of the most crucial topics in the world of technology. We might assume that an area that is growing so fast is also keeping up with the problems our world is facing. Unfortunately, studies have shown that women are still underrepresented, in some cases underpaid or even discriminated against in the industry.

 

A core problem is representation gap

 

The main causes of the situation concerning women in tech is a never-ending conversation (read more about them here) but we think one of the key factors is the representation gap.

 

It is definitely a challenge to show one’s ability to succeed if they do not have the chance to make an appearance. The lack of representation of women in tech leads to limits as for their chances to have the same opportunities as men.

 

Only 24% of the the jobs related to computing are held by women

 

Moreover, because of the lack of representation, salary gaps and other contributing factors, women working in the tech industry leave at a 45% higher rate than men.

 

What can be done?

 

On the bright side, it is safe to say that more and more companies put emphasis on gender parity and diversity. Many industries such as engineering, product management and other fast-growing fields realize that there is an increasing need for a change.

 

That is why CraftHub has a mission to be part of this change by creating opportunities at their tech events for women to attend and have the same opportunities for learning and networking.
