In the UK, just<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenintech.co.uk\/women-in-tech-survey-2023\"> 8%<\/a> of women in tech believe they\u2019re being paid the same as men for doing the same job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>29. In the U.S., women working in tech earn about $99,000 a year, while men in similar roles average $114,000, meaning women make<a href=\"https:\/\/www.womentech.net\/women-in-tech-stats\"> $15,000

Across Europe, women working in tech still earn about<a href=\"https:\/\/ravio.com\/compensation-trends-2024\"> 26%<\/a> less than men, proving the gender pay gap is not just a U.S. issue\u2014it\u2019s global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>31.

A<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/diversity-and-inclusion\/women-in-the-workplace#\/\"> 2022 McKinsey report<\/a> showed that for every 100 men promoted to manager in tech

The numbers above reveal a landscape where women remain underrepresented, underpaid, and too often undervalued.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issues go beyond statistics\u2014they reflect deeper cultural and structural barriers that push many women out before they can reach their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving forward, real change will depend on more than just good intentions. It will require companies to rethink how they hire, promote, and support women at every stage of their careers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It will take schools and training programs that empower girls early and workplaces that commit to creating inclusive environments where women not only stay\u2014but thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why isn&#8217;t there equality in tech?
