• WHY SUCH BIASING?: According to researchers who are studying organisation culture of top tech companies across the world. They have mentioned these 4 main reasons for less female hires.

• 1. Gender Stereotypes: According to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation & Development), despite similar performances in the OECD’s science test, more boys consider a STEM career than girls.

• 2. Lack of talent pool: The talent pool availability of female candidates carrying sufficient STEM skills is very limited. Moreover, this small sized talent pool is not encouraged enough to improve on their skills.

• 3. In-group favouritism: According to a study in the American Sociological Review, hiring managers tend to recruit those who are culturally similar to themselves (i.e. with the same tastes, hobbies, experiences).

• 4. Work culture problem: According to a report on Talent & Innovation, 52% of employees (in management or higher authorities) know that women are being paid less in their organisation than men for doing the same job.
