2:16 pm
how much do we need per day press stop hans, praying for help find the offices get smaller on dw science and i'll take talk channel. do you want a job with a real future and a well paid font? if that then take might just be the field for you, have time to so on the lookout for smart recruits to fill in lucrative roles. but the house of looking for women tech has 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 start a parson, javascript,
2:17 pm
or java, for example, what it might sound daunting. almost 30 percent of developers. 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 the, the not, the 1st reason is the lack of role models. the, i mean, we have very male dominated teams in the tech industry. and yes, actually, and as a woman, it's not very attractive to see. i might be the only woman there. so i think it's called the spies, it went to is 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,
2:18 pm
so i need to offer more flexible working conditions. if we solve this will attract more women to the sector by the guy. did you ever think 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 for palmilla. she order from argentina. her father didn't want her to be involved with computers as a child. it's not something for bells he would say. but she did it anyway. i'm, 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 h to 9, pamela found some old computer magazines that our father kept and began to study them. show this. yeah. you went ok, they are using to say so it how wonderful it is to create with these computers that
2:19 pm
e, you said what my child's mind understood in the system but and i would say i want to do this move up. i see you when. so i always read the magazines and my dad noticed this is have everything he said to me and said, daughter, these magazines are not for you by a technology is a man's thing. and they told him, my dad was the one giving orders and everyone had to do it. he said human through this, i feel really sad because they had the stream for many years the most daniels, despite our fathers refusal 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 took responsibility for my family, which was my mother and my sister here, and then go and my 2 brothers who were studying and cordova. and so i had to drop out of college in order to work the way that i started working in the i t department of the energy company and who, who is an issue. they hold forth for 10 years. pamela worked there until she
2:20 pm
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, nearly 100 employees. mother single in the policy and the 50 percent of the management at the metrics are women and women make up just over 45 percent throughout the company. the single percent of the move in the beginning. we pushed it a bit and it gave us excellent results, vocal interview, extending the van and became 2nd nature. the come on that low he got and if the once to 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 site going on soon. but on the 8th of jack,
2:21 pm
i'm with the no secret on the 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 you might say steve jobs or mark sucker burke, the jobs or media mux, who can embed simply at the name of one moment. we always have male role models for the month, but we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately. hang on east, and we must work on that. and this can be of them that we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women thing, not a he and the credit the what was it like for you growing up? i hardly had any female role models, but today thanks the platforms like linked and or thing. i can easily network with
2:22 pm
other women and tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry is life 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 cardio box. they have a different uh point of view. they have a different, a bring in. 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 mental 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 or take part in mentoring programs. today, rug you need us has a team of 30 employees,
2:23 pm
many of whom are women. as someone who has cooled down to the digital platform does strongly believes that check and play a big role for women's progress. but she, as it is still majorly a 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 help, 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 connect with a lot of like 9 different please. i think this app has been extremely beneficial in that sense. i have made a nora phone, does a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know,
2:24 pm
mean somebody walks of life. so it has the no confidence booster definitely used to have, have done a great platforms who makes them professional networking. i've met some wonderful women and not about great professions, which i never knew existed. for many women delete club has become an important instrument for finding allies in their professional life. and that spiral effect, if thoughtful was $1500.00 women together today, networking and support a one thing true equality in terms of pay is another. even in 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 or lose door of a small town,
