Certamente movida pela notícia recente sobre 0 pagamento da congelação de óvulos a funcionárias por empresas de TI, a que se refere este post, tentámos saber mais sobre o «estado da arte» no que diz respeito às mulheres nas TI, e neste labor, entre outras, encontrámos a organização da imagem acima, e lá o relatório abaixo, que na apresentação começa assim:
«women in it: the facts
About This Report
The technology industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in the U.S.
The United States Department of Labor estimates that by 2018 there will be
more than 1.4 million total new computing-related job openings when
considering growth and replacement needs. Technology job opportunities
are predicted to grow at a faster rate than all other jobs in the professional
sector, or up to 22 percent over the next decade.1
Highly-qualified women are well-positioned to move into these open jobs,
yet the industry is failing to attract this talent. Furthermore, women already
employed in the technology industry are leaving at staggering rates. Failing
to capitalize on this talent threatens U.S. productivity, innovation, and
competitiveness. To further strengthen the U.S. position as a technical
leader we need to examine the reasons why the industry is not attracting
more people with varied backgrounds and take action to stem the
current tide». Continue a ler.
É como se pode conferir um documento muito claro com que, a nosso ver, se pode aprender, recheado de estatísticas, que termina assim (destaque nosso):
Conclusion
The coming decades present grand challenges and exciting opportunities for the
technology industry. Technological innovation will play a crucial role in almost
every facet of society and the global economy. Meanwhile, women and other
groups currently underrepresented in technology will increasingly
influence technological purchases and consumption. Companies that capitalize on diverse perspectives to improve technological invention will be well-poised to benefit
from the perspectives of a diverse range of talent, to appeal to diverse markets,
and ultimately to become and remain leaders in the technology industry. Realizing
these benefits, however, requires careful planning and attention to reform. Such
reform may not be easy, but it is necessary and well worth the effort.
O documento é sobre a realidade dos USA, mas, a propósito, no V PLANO NACIONAL PARA A IGUALDADE DE GÉNERO CIDADANIA E NÃO-DISCRIMINAÇÃO 2014-2017 está previsto (medida 21):
«Elaborar um estudo sobre a participação
das mulheres nos cursos na área das TIC».
Ou seja, o problema está longe de ser uma coisa localizada, e tudo aponta para que deva fazer parte das AGENDAS de «Género».
