the angle ended on that note, but to stay with us, our technology show shift is up next with a look at how women or still under represented in tech career. stay tuned for that and don't forget, you can find more and a website, dw comp. mike, look good, bye for now. the each tells my story of the people who planned me build dedicated van lines to me. i am not too dumb, depending on the online made. in the centuries they billed me, they created something and had to watch as i rushed, destroyed. i have month niceties, days for centuries, and accompanied my country. until the day i nearly vanished
9:16 am
stuff to lie 18. i'm d w. the . do you want a job with a real future and a well paid for? and if that, then tech might just be the field for you, have time to so on the lookout for smart recruits to field 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 states as 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 good place to stop, bison, javascript, or java,
9:17 am
for example, what it might sound daunting. almost 30 percent of the developers. a self taught by watching tutorials on youtube, for example, a degree and 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? adieva manual has a few ideas. the 1st reason is the lack of role models. 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 think it's called decided what is this? the 2nd reason is that we are only just starting to get young women and girls interested in tech. this prejudiced 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,
9:18 am
so i need to offer more flexible working conditions. if we solve this will attract more women to the sector by the government. good. did you ever things up and job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough female role models in that position. this is a common theme in the tech industry. we're only 5 percent of all c o a 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 bells he would say. but she did this 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 a, just a 9. pamela found some old computer magazines that our father kept and began to study them. show this. yeah. do you want to to data using to say,
9:19 am
how wonderful it is to create with these computers that 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, the sound of everything he said to me and so daughter, these magazines are not for you by technology is a man's thing. name. dealing with my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had to do it. he said human 3 this. i don't really sad because they had the stream for many years the most sonya, despite their father's 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 our father left jo. music got to let me find media. i took responsibility for my family, which was my mother in my sister's here in 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,
9:20 am
who we and that she the whole voice for 10 years. pamela worked 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 to 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 it'd be metrics 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 excellent results. vocal interview extending then it became 2nd nature. the come on that know he got and if the once your level, the playing field for everyone do that. but at the end, the trailblazers leave their market, it is the sort of comes a natural cycle soon,
9:21 am
but on the 8th of jack, i'm with the no secret in the ginger gap and 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 do it that all we are trying to work with role models. and let me know that on. 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 bed seemed at the nimble on more than we always have male role models, none of them. but we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately and east, and we must work on that and is going to be of them that 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 hardly had any female role models, but today,
9:22 am
thanks to platform 2nd link and or thing. i can easily network with other women in tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry as last social networks by women for women in india as a lead golf club is such a network for women only for co fonda rogeno task, it is particularly important in the country. what conservative generals bills dominate, women just have a very different cardio box. they have a very 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 women 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 or take part in mentoring programs. today, rug you need us has a team of 30 employees,
9:23 am
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 majorly, a boy's club there seems to be a massive, massive gap killed in the market. like even if i have to go to all effects, 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 dec. rug 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 minded me please. i see you this app has been exceeding you beneficent. in that sense, i have made an oral phone, does a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know,
9:24 am
mean from all walks of life. so it has to be no confidence booster. definitely. the app has been a great platform to make some professional networking. i've mentioned one that i learned about 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's far affect. it's thoughtful, what? $1500.00 women together, the data, networking and support. 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 attractive about the tech industry is that many jobs can be done remotely. that office flexibility and independence and contrast to many of us actus
9:25 am
who's the owner of a small town, 2 hours from luckiest capital rica, not exactly a tech industry hub whose bar is mostly known for its agriculture. but the optimal internet connection here is stable and fast, not the or ring 16th globally and download speed. excess cost about 17 year rose a month. lever, colleena from whose barbara has made a career in tech. she works as a data analyst and platform developer for a european car manufactured lever works from home, 40 hours a week with a monthly pay of around $2900.00 euros, almost doubled the national average. all she needs for her work is a laptop for her design work. she uses power b. i. power automates power pages and kind of the the, the initial thought was just to have like exercise from my mind. it was called at the time. so it had a lot of free time and yeah,
9:26 am
i thought if nowadays like kids get taught coding so i can probably do it. leave a tell me know, learned how to code with re good ted girls and n g o that offers 3 classes. busy busy busy we started off as a community of women intact and focusing mostly on women and girls. in the past couple of years we've grown into community that is supporting inclusion and diversity in tech. it's about diversity. so every thing that we create a store, it's to be useful and um, just a good solution for everyone. it needs to be created by people who are, who have a diverse experiences we've uh, initially wanted to work as a user interface designer. but then she got a job and a different field. as
9:27 am
a specialist for data visualization, she saw the advice from the rica tech girls, the ashland manta. what do i do? and she gave me really good advice. she said, visualization that's, that's design, right? that's not just the 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 it. subtract it for the 1st time, extra way in my life for a positive working environment. chris, it's arriving atmosphere for employee and employer women and the tech industry important as a tech walked can benefit from diversity
9:28 am
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 to see if we see it in the development of a i, which is often programs by men. 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 to the accounts. this reasons to go for a job in tech, especially for women, the opportunities of great. and that's never too late to get stuff is, what are your experiences in the field? do you feel inspired to dive into the tech world? that is not what you think, and we'll see you next time the he can do anything from action, full size,
