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 as a woman, it's not very attractive to see. i might be the only room in there. so i, i think it's called that's 5 to one 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, 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 say 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. i'm, unless you are is where she always wanted to be working in tech. her 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, how wonderful it is to create with these computers. you said what my child's mind understood. and those assume 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, the sound of everything he said to me and said, daughter, these magazines are not for you by technology. is a man's thing and they told him my dad was the one getting orders and everyone had
3:05 am
to do it. he said human through this i felt really sad because they had the stream for many years the most daniels, 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 and my sister here in my 2 brothers who were studying and quite a while. 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 you and here the whole force for 10 years coming to work there until she reconnected with andres, a former schoolmate, 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 is,

3:07 am
and then you might say steve jobs or mark sucker burke, the jobs or media like soup embed seemed at the name of my mother. and we always have male role models. none of them are, but we don't have female role models that come to mind immediately. hang on east and we must work on that and this, but i can be of them that we need to change this idea that technology is a forbidden world for women. nothing, 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 the platforms like linked and or thing. i can easily network with other women and tech. another way to promote women in the tech industry is my a social networks by women for women in india. as a lead thought club is such a network for women only for co founder of any tasks. it is particularly important in a country. what conservative general all still is, dominates women just have

phone does meet up, i will be unfortunately, one of the very few women in the room. we need to invest a lot more in women and dec. 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 cannot 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 an oral phone, does a lot of investment banker as an oil saw indeed, or does i not people, you know, mean somebody walks of life. so it has the 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 never knew existed. for many women delete club has become an important instrument for finding allies and their professional life. and that spiral effect,
3:10 am
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 in 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 the small town, 2 hours from lithuania, as capital rica. not exactly a tech industry hub, who's bar is mostly known for its agriculture. but the optical internet connection here is stable and fast, not b, o ring 16th globally, and download speed access costs 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 a european car manufactured lever works from home, 40 hours a week with a monthly pay of around $2900.00 euro is almost double the national average. all she needs for her work is a laptop for her design work. she uses power b, i power auto, major power pages. and kind of the, the, the initial thought was just to have like, exercise from my mind. it was covered time. so it would have a lot of free time. and yeah, so 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 in the community of women intact and focusing mostly on women
3:12 am
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 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 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,
3:13 am
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. what do you mean by like 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 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
3:14 am
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 . the point is great for investing the invest. these are the everyone here just wants to get into big old, quite a bit. coins, digital gold. and we wanted to stay here in central and south america. they known as big co narrows digital gold diggers. investors from all live uh, moving to last in america, in such a big coin, treasure. no way is the cryptic currency valued more highly than here. but for many, the frenzy ends in ruins. we were promised high speed rail,
3:15 am
but so far there is no sign of cisco in, in less than america starts november 8th on w to say we don't have a choice. i think that we have little time list to save the product. so we have students who we can as fast as possible. we only have one generation less just 25 years to increment the greatest revolution since the doing of the industrial and replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy around the world. is this really possible documentary, renewable revenue november 25th on d w the
