hi, caesar was every single connection mapped out shows the geophysical reality. the on the board is what makes things to the way they are mapped out, navigating a changing world. now on youtube, do you want a job with a real future and a well paid font at that? then tech might just be the field for you had time to so on the lookout for smart recruits to feel 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 piping javascript or java,

for example, what it might sound daunting. almost 30 percent of developers, a self taught by watching tutorials on youtube, for example, in 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? a deep i'm in your has a few ideas the, the not, the 1st reason is the lack of role models. the minute 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, i think it's called the spice. what is the? 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 only employ years,
11:47 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 that the job isn't suitable for you just because there aren't enough female role models in that position? this is a common theme and 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. 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 to this. yeah, you went up to data using to say, how wonderful it is to create with these computers either. so what my child's mind
11:48 pm
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 some of 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 getting orders, and everyone had to do it. he said human 3, they said the really sad because they had the stream for many years. the mcdaniels, despite our 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 her father left jo. music got to let me find me in the i took responsibility for my family, which was my mother in my sister's here. in glen, 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 is permanent. i've worked there until
11:49 pm
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, you'd 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 develop and women make up just over and 45 percent throughout the company. the single percent 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 commune. 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 cycle soon put on the 8th of jack. i'm with the know see clement,
11:50 pm
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, but at the end of it, the we're 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 seemed at the nimble on more than we 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 can be of them that we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women thing, not a human one. the credit, the what was it like for you growing up? i hardly had any female role models, but today, thanks to platforms like link in a thing,
11:51 pm
i can easily network with other women and tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry. this last social networks by women for women in india as a lead dot club is such a network for women only for co fonda right? they need thus, 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 name, 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, many of whom are women. as someone who has cooled down to the digital platform does
11:52 pm
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 a low tech phone doors, i need help. i will be unfortunately, one of the very few women in the room. we need to invest a lot more in women in tack, 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. 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 lot of home does a lot of investment bankers and oil saw indeed are design nice people, you know,
11:53 pm
mean somebody walks of life. so it has the most wonderful things will start definitely. so app has a great platform to make some professional networking. i've met some wonderful women and not about great professions which i never knew existed. for many women, the leap dog club has become an important instrument for finding allies in their professional life. and that spiral effect, it's thoughtful. what? $1500.00 women together, the data 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 attractive about the tech industry is that many jobs can be done remotely. that office flexibility and independence and contrast to many of the sectors

11:55 pm
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 free classes. busy busy busy we started off as a community of women in tech 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 for it's to be useful and just a good solution for everyone in this 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 in a different field. as
