Building the Future Power Hub for Women in Tech
A unique study by Women Go Tech, supported by Google.org and the OSCE, examines the key gaps and obstacles that deter women from participating in the technology sector and to outline strategies for empowering women at various stages of tech labor market maturity and how to facilitate women enablement in tech in the CEE region to make it the next power hub in Europe.
It’s a comprehensive survey of 5475 women in 13 countries. The results and insights were deepened with 40 international experts.
The Issue: Persistent Challenges in Tech
Women in the CEE region continue to face systemic barriers to entering and advancing within the tech industry. These obstacles include limited mentorship opportunities, unequal pay, and struggles to balance work and life, which ultimately hinder career progression and discourage entry into the field..
The Opportunity: Building a Supportive Ecosystem
Despite these challenges, the study reveals a promising future: women are eager for opportunities that emphasize mentorship, professional networking, and flexible work environments. Creating a robust ecosystem where women feel supported and empowered can unlock the region’s potential as a global leader in tech innovation.
Key Barriers and Insights
The study identifies barriers for women in tech, including gender stereotypes, unequal pay, and a confidence gap, alongside country-specific biases like entrenched biases about women’s capabilities. Addressing these challenges is crucial to fostering environments that support women’s success.
