another will title is now surely a formality for us. i step and we've just 7 grand prix left. he's 110 of 15 races this season and leads by a mammoth 109 points. with this is either been is live from berlin, stick around shift is coming up next, looking at how men are dominating digital industries and ways to close the gender gap. i'm really mohammed, thanks for watching all season, but i did sometimes a seed is all you need to allowed big ideas to grow. we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning pass like global ideas. we will show you how climate change and environmental conservation is taking shape around the world

and how we can all make a difference. knowledge grows through sharing. download it now for free. dig reeves tina, a sex phone operator who wrote her master's thesis on potato, raring to read. oh, not a turn on. well, it gets more ridiculous from there. you don't you literature list. good. german must read. women across the globe have less access to the internet than men and online content is primarily authored and edited by men. most device and f designers are men too old. this contributes to digital inequality. today on shift we're covering the digital gender gap. ah,

according to the 2021 inclusive internet index, 14 percent more men have internet access than women across the globe. in other words, men are 14 percent more able to educate themselves to business online and keep in touch with others. not exactly what you would call gender equality. and yet it's one of the 17 goals the united nations have set to achieve sustainable development work light. but the digital gender gap isn't the same everywhere in europe. internet access isn't a problem anymore. but the gap between men and women programmers is enormous. in germany, for instance, 4 times as many men as women are programmers. but women in the global south phase, the more existential problem. many women there do not have smartphones or can't afford to go online. in india, a group of women is confronting these obstacles and demanding greater digital inclusion. wow with kathy, i'm navy,

the google pull in july of you may delegate. i didn't even know jag was now and then as us them idea he was go made it a matlab. is it a danny? using a mobile phone is still a far off reality from most women in india, only one in for own a smartphone, whereas nearly half all the men do without one accessing the internet becomes near impossible. in rule india, 3 quarters of women have never been online at all. indian economist agenda expert, we telling the cool warms that women are missing out on professional opportunities . we all live on line and you're seeing that if women don't have access to that device, then women are not in this economy. and that's what's important, isn't it? to have women be bought of girls. india is not an isolated case across large parts of the world,

men are more likely to get online with their phones than women. this is especially true in south asia and sub saharan africa, where the mobo internet gap is over a 3rd. one reason for this gender divide is affordability. women tend to and less money than men, and often can't show to the cost of a smartphone or internet data. digital illiteracy is another huddle older and less educated. women often don't know how to use a phone, go online, or open an application. another reason gender stereotypes, so it goes back, does driving the digital divide. one is of course, social norms are the most important. one. how are women fence dying, interacting with a one way she speaking don't wish, not speaking to what is she saying? this cannot be morning dawned on a whole and, and therefore that is a lot of oversight from me. a relative,

well missions required in the usage of the form, and this makes the initiatives to familiarize women with digital technology all the more important buddy bye, but benet them up, but i'm getting it up. oh god, the good news. the gap between men and women who access the internet with their friends is slowly closing with phones becoming cheaper and cheaper women in south asia especially has started to go online. they are leading a global trend, but inequality doesn't stop at the actual access to smartphones. there's also their programming and design. go ahead and pick up your smartphone. can you easily use it with just one hand? if so you're most likely a man. and even more importantly, do you have a convenient place to put it away? it certainly doesn't fit into my pants pocket, and unfortunately, using smartphones also reveals problems for gender equality. if you unlock your

smartphone, you'll immediately see one thing. apps designed by men. google maps has no option to suggest the safest route. an important feature for women at night. and digital assistants are usually female by default. why? probably because 9 out of 10 software designers are men. but things are changing, and increasing number of women are working as designers and programmers. and they're organizing to haven't ever greater impact on technological development. ladies that you x is one of the top tech design organizations run by women. and stephanie kato from berlin is one of them. she is shocked how even tech companies like apple have given female users. so little thought for so long. epa harris, the apple health that was launched in 2014 and 15 and almost every one knows it at launch. it could measure nearly everything, steps, nutrition, but one thing found by the wayside women's health,

they just overlooked that whole result. i had some died off my for guessing, but such decisions often are not part of a deliberate strategy. is a mental thing. it may be just doesn't occur to these men. you know, if the team were more heterogeneous, that might help prevent this from happening. last which puts young wouldn't it took apple a year to respond to women's protests. after that, a period tracker was added to the app. but fem tech is an increasingly successful business model. the sector focused on women's health is forecast to hit the 50000000000 euro mark in the next 5 years. that's 3 times the size it was in 2020 eda tin invented the ap clue used to monitor women menstrual cycles. she played a major role in coining the word sam tech. a term meant to appeal to mail investors to it attend is also one of the few women to have her own wikipedia article and it

even has a photo. she is fortunate because less than a quarter of all biographies on wikipedia are on women. but the women are rarely seen as here than 20 percent of the articles include photos, the organization whose knowledge isn't satisfied with their advocating for women to be better represented on wikipedia, including with photos. in the past years, over 15000 images have been uploaded as part of the campaign, visible wiki women. and that's an important step according to an a c. s. in gupta, a co founder of whose knowledge for over 15 years, indian author honest to use and gupta, has been helping the online encyclopedia grow. and she also works for with the media. the charity that runs wikipedia. but she's a harsh critic too, and demands for efforts to be made to close that gender gap on wikipedia.

what is known as the gender gap is essentially 2 things. one that there is a content gap around issues related to women and gender nonconforming, non binary folks on wikipedia. and secondly that there's a contribute a gap. so for instance, only one in 10 editors is estimated to self identify as female. oh, non bind these 2 factors play a significant role in the fact that wikipedia content stems largely from men in north america and europe. but why are women less active on wikipedia? there are various reasons, a considerable one is time. women simply have less time to sit at the computer because the division of labor prevailing and many patriarchal or once patriarchal societies is also present in the digital world. and there's another reason. wikipedia works like any enlightenment driven encyclopedia does. it expects

to have reliable sources like books or journal articles, a well known newspapers. but all of these things are predicated on publishing own gender gap. and so the existing gender cap is replicated in the digital world. one example of this is canadian physicist donna strickland, winner of the 2018 nobel prize in physics at the time she did not yet have a wikipedia article. even despite having forged a 30 year career in science and on a strict and is a wide north american which improves her off of being visible according to an a 3 i single bda. there's also inter sectional gender gaps, not just women being under represented, but of course, black and brown, women, women from the global south, indigenous women. so multiple marginalization take place through the gender gap. and these disadvantages and terms of perception equal opportunities and

representations aren't limited to humans. we're even passing it on to artificial intelligence, which replicates humans inequalities. for instance, when it comes to image recognition systems controlled by algorithms. experiments have shown that cloud services offered by microsoft and ibm are great at recognizing white men, but struggle the most with black women. so the discrimination is twofold. truth racial and gender based a test carried out using google's image recognition software on photos of us. members of congress showed that photos of female politicians were assigned physical characteristics 3 times as often as their male colleagues. the 2 top labels for men were business, person and official. while photos of women were usually labeled, chin, or smile. and the difficulties don't stop there. smart speakers like amazon

echo google assistant or apple. siri are trained using voice recording, spanning high women's voices and deep male while but since fewer women's voices are used to train these speaking a i assistance, they have a harder time understanding female voices. another problem is that these devices are set to speak with a woman's voice by default, once in california begins issuing state ideas where the 3rd general rado becomes 5th state to allow their gender on licenses it 2019 unesco report shows that this can have real life consequences, alexa are not blind. okay. given orders to a seemingly female assistant could perpetuate the cliche that it's easier to tell a woman what to do than a man. but there's help in sight. like the gender neutral voice assistant q from denmark. hi, i'm q, the wills, 1st gender, less voice assistant. what

a great idea. why do digital voice assistance have to be men or women anyway? they're just machines. and we should look at the digital world through a more diverse lance. whether it comes through design, programming or content, take the dating at bumble, developed by a woman and meant for old genders. it's founder, whitney wolf, hurt, wanted online, dating to be safer for women, and on bubble, they always have to make the 1st move. her idea made whitney wolf hurt the youngest female self med billionaire in the world in 2021. this shows that the digital gender gap is narrowing. but especially in the regions that have been hardest hit by gender inequality, things really need to speed up. what's your take on it? where do you see the greatest need for improvement? should have the message on youtube or at the w dot com. take care and see your next move? ah
