NUMBERS

Description

• According to researchers who are studying
  organization culture of top tech companies across
  the world. They have mentioned these 4 main
  reasons for less female hires.

1. Gender Stereotypes

• According to the OECD (Organization for Economic
  Cooperation Development), despite similar
  performances in the OECDs science test, more
  boys consider a STEM career than girls. (STEM
  Science, Technology, Engineering Mathematics).
  From an early age, favoritism shown towards boys
  being better at STEM subjects has been
  discouraging girls from opting this career.

2. Lack of talent pool

• The talent pool availability of female candidates
  carrying sufficient STEM skills is very limited.
  Moreover, this small sized talent pool is not
  encouraged enough to improve on their skills.
  This means that employers have a gender biased
  talent pool to recruit from.

3. In-group favouritism

• According to a study in the American Sociological
  Review, hiring managers tend to recruit those who
  are culturally similar to themselves (i.e. with
  the same tastes, hobbies, experiences). This
  observation holds true when it comes to hiring in
  a tech start-up where a group of male friends
  have agreed to hire another male over female
  candidate.

4. Work culture problem

• According to a report on Talent Innovation, 52
  of employees (in management or higher
  authorities) know that women are being paid less
  in their organization than men for doing the same
  job, but still not

WHAT CAN BE DONE?

• There are few Not-for-Profit organizations, who
  are helping young students across the world to
  hone their skills. Some of them namely are
• CoderDojo It is a network of free volunteer-led
  computer programming clubs for young people aged
  7 to 17.
• Girls who CodeIt is a US based organisation that
  runs summer programs teaching programming skills
  to high school girls.
• Girls in TechIt is a global network of groups
  that aims to boost the visibility of women in
  tech jobs by hosting events and providing
  employment resources.
• Applicant Tracking System is a tool that falls
  into Technology (T) of STEM skills. This is an
  open source recruitment management platform that
  helps new HRs and recruiters (who have just taken
  a professional responsibility in an organisation)
  to manage their job in most easy and convenient
  manner. We run on the motto of improving
  professional skills, challenging negative
  stereotypes and strengthen networking.
