This confrontation with the realities of the job market can be quite disappointing and can easily lead to discouragement. Co-founders of the Institute for the Informed and Informed in a report on diversity in tech said that in 2017, women had three times fewer opportunities than men to obtain job opportunities in the tech field. These numbers show us that inclusion is a real issue with roots that extend beyond the hiring stage. At the root of it we noticed that there was a real lack of information being disseminated to young women about the types of jobs that they could ostensibly apply for.
We must make them aware of their potential impact on society’s digital transformation. The lack of diversity in the VP of People is woven into our society and we notice it starts photo retouching when women are young. According to data, only 10% of high school girls know about technology program courses compared to 1% of high school boys. Technology is not something we instinctively lead them into. Co-founder of a deep-rooted historical phenomenon Isabelle Collet, a computer scientist and professor at the University of Geneva, suggests that we look back to our collective history to find the roots of our lack of diversity.
Her work Forgotten Women in Technology explains how technology, from its inception, toward men rather than women. Even the etymology of the word computer goes back to the belief that the adjective is a French masculine noun for God as he began to bring order in the world. So it’s no longer enough to simply recommend role models to women to encourage them to pursue more technical careers. Doing so could even be counterproductive, Isabelle Collet said in an interview in French.
