now for smart recruits to fill lucrative roles, but the house of looking for women tech is still a male dominated field. after all, we're going to show you 3 women, which how does that status quote and one coming up today. but 1st, let's say you want to get your foot in the door. what skills might you need? right now? it's all about web software and say to base development as well as operations. so learning a programming language is a good place to stop piping javascript or java, for example, what it might sound daunting, almost 30 percent of develop as a self taught by watching tutorials on youtube. for example, a degree in computer science content, but it's no longer a must internationally only $1.00 and $5.00 companies insist upon the college degree. so what's stopping women from guessing involved? entrepreneur and consultants a deep, i'm in your has a few ideas they're still going to assume that the 1st reason is the lack of role
4:03 am
models. yeah, i mean, we have very male dominated teams in the tech industry. and as a woman, it's not very attractive to see. i might be the only woman there. so i, i think it's called that's what i did when does this. the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech, and this prejudice starts in school, where boys are often presumed to be better in the technical field. and girls aren't supported by the 3rd reason is that we own the employer, so i need to offer more flexible working conditions. if we solve this will attract more women to the sector. right. but the guy said couldn't, did you ever think that the job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough fema role models in that position? this is a common theme in the tech industry. we're only 5 percent of all c o's of female to this day, women on encourage to succeed in certain areas, especially at a young age. that was the case pop. i mean,

actually order from argentina. her father didn't want her to be involved with computers as a child. it's not something for girls he would say. but she did it anyway. unless you are is where she always wanted to be working in tech. a father and visit her as an accountant for the family business. but age to 9. pamela found some old computer magazines that our father kept and began to study them. show this. yeah. you went up to data using to say, how wonderful it is to create with these computers, either separate my child's mind understood those assume but then i would say i want to do this move up. i say you went so i always read the magazines and my dad noticed this. he said that everything he said to me is daughter. these magazines are not for you by acknowledges a man's thing. and then bill and my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had to do it. he said human 3 this i know really sad because they had the stream for many years, single sonia, despite our father's refusal,
4:05 am
her mother secretly enrolled her and university. so she could study computer science, the journey was not easy. as a few years later, the family business went bankrupt and her father left jo. music got to let me find me in the i did responsibility for my family, which was my mother and my sister here, and then my 2 brothers who were studying in cordova. and so i had to drop out of college in order to work a bit. i started working in the i t department of the energy company and who, who is an mc before voice for 10 years coming to work there until she reconnected with andre is a former school late and also an i t professional with whom she entered a relationship and later married, pamela completed her studies together with andres. they started new be metrics, a company that provides e commerce solutions supported by artificial intelligence. today, 10 years later, the company has a presence in 1711 american countries, over 9000 customers,
4:06 am
nearly 100 employees. mother single in the policy and the 50 percent of the management that would be metric for women and women make up just over the 45 percent throughout the company. the single percent of the move in the beginning. we pushed it a bit and it gave us an excellent results. vocal interview. excellent. the then it became 2nd nature. the come on that know he got and if the once you level the playing field for everyone do that. but at the end, the trailblazers leave their market, it is the sort of becomes a natural cycle soon. but on the 8th of jack, i'm with the no secret on that put on the ginger gap in technology remains significant, but it is gradually narrowing. argentina leads and female participation with more than 40 percent of women in the tech workforce. say that that then the we are trying to work with role models. and let me know that i, if i ask you see you as an innovator in technology, and then we might say steve jobs or mark sucker burke, the jobs of many the mux who can bed seemed at the name of her mother. and we
4:07 am
always have male role models for the month, but we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately and he's done. and we must work on that and this. but i can be like, we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women. they not a human one, the credit, the. what was it like for you growing up? i how do you have any female role models? but today, thanks for platforms like link and or thing, i can easily network with other women and tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry is my us social networks by women for women in india as a lead dot club is such a network for women only for co founder of any tasks. it is particularly important in the country. what conservative generals bills dominate, women just have a very different us. they have a very different to find a feel they have
4:08 am
a defense of being. they have a very different, you know, i think maybe even though vision we need and all those clubs, we need women to support each other. we need the men to back each other up before the 2020 launch of lead club. there were hardly any professional networks for women in india. the release was a huge success. this way women can network online, get further training for take part in mentoring programs. today, rug uni does, has a team of 30 employees, many of whom are women. as someone who has cooled down to the digital platform does strongly believes that tech can play a big role for women's progress. but she, as it is still majorly boys club there seems to be a massive, massive gap killed in the market. like even if i have to go to all or the tech phone does need to, i will be unfortunately,

one of the very few women in the room. we need to invest a lot more in women and tax rog, you need believes the app has become the medium to bring women together at a leave dot club event in delhi. hundreds of women who met online are meeting up to network professionally. i do not this, i was looking to connected with a lot of like minded i think this app has been extremely beneficial in that sense. i have made a lot of home. those are all for investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know, mean somebody walks of life so it has to be no confidence booster. definitely. so have, has been a great platforms who makes them professional networking. i've met some wonderful women and not about great professions, which i've never knew existed. for many women delete, doug club has become an important instrument for finding allies in their professional life. and that spiral effect. it's thoughtful. what?
4:10 am
$1500.00 shipments together today. networking and support a one thing true, a quantity in terms of pay is another even and 2023 women and the tech sector. us still earning an average of 10 percent less than men. the agenda pick up is slowly shrinking, but why women get less money for the same work as men is beyond me. what's attract us about the tech industry is that many jobs can be done remotely. that office flexibility and independence and contrast to many of the sectors the who's the owner of a small town, 2 hours from luckiest capital rica. not exactly a tech industry hub, who's bar is mostly known for its agriculture. but the optimal internet connection here is stable and fast, not the or ring 16 globally and download speed. excess cost about 17 year rose a month. leave accounting us and it was barbara has made a career in tech. she works as a data analyst and platform developer for

4:12 am
supporting inclusion and diversity in tech. it's about diversity. so every thing that we create for it's to be useful and just a good solution for everyone. it needs to be created by people who are, who have a diverse experiences. eva initially wanted to work as a user interface designer. but then she got a job in a different field. as a specialist for data visualization, she saw the advice from the rica tech girls, the ashwin mehta what to do. and she gave me really good advice. she said, visualization that's, that's design, right? that's not just they tell numbers and coding whatever that's design so you can

actually combine if you like, of the mos poss also and the design poss. yeah. it's itself tracked it for the 1st time, extra weight in my life. a positive working environment, chris, it's arriving atmosphere for employee and employer women and the tech industry important as a tech watkins benefit from diversity a lot in the future. we're going to see there are many studies that show diversity and teams leads to better results. doctors and women have been under represented in technology for a long time. the thing that we see it in the development of a i, which is often programmed by man man. so there's often a very male view of these technological advances. and if women participate more, the product will be much better in the vast majority of cases because of the different perspectives they bring. the account. this reasons to go for a job in tech, especially for women,
