abstract: 'In a rapidly globalizing world, high growth sectors like information
|
||||
|
||||
technology (IT) hold the key to narrow or broaden the gulf between men
|
||||
|
||||
and women at work. However, there is a serious underrepresentation of
|
||||
|
||||
women in the technology sector, particularly in leadership roles. This
|
||||
|
||||
gulf between men and women at work is likely to widen unless immediate
|
||||
|
||||
action is taken. ICT jobs can provide women with greater opportunities
|
||||
|
||||
and higher wages, compared to the low-skill jobs that women are often
|
||||
|
||||
crowded into. Yet, achieving gender neutrality and inclusivity in the IT
|
||||
|
||||
sector is an uphill task. This paper focuses on the challenges,
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities and conditions that can be created to facilitate the
|
||||
|
||||
participation of urban, educated women of Pakistan in the IT sector.
|
||||
|
||||
Although the empowerment aspects of individualization in the workplace
|
||||
|
||||
for women are tangible, in Pakistan, there are a number of
|
||||
|
||||
socio-cultural barriers and an implicit gender bias in education and
|
||||
|
||||
employment which prevents greater participation of women in the IT
|
||||
|
||||
sector. The paper also sets out specific recommendations for the
|
||||
|
||||
government and private sectors to further increase gender inclusivity in
|
||||
|
||||
employment. In doing so, it draws upon primary research and current
|
||||
|
||||
behavioral economic insights and makes the case that a multi-sectoral
|
||||
|
||||
effort involving the private sector, government, and macro-social
|
||||
|
||||
environment is critical to radically disrupting bias, providing
|
||||
|
||||
norm-changing solutions, and ensuring rapid gains to the economy from
|
||||
|
||||
the inclusion of women in the sector.'
