Mexico. Gender inequality is an old debate, but there is still a great discrepancy in terms of rights, incentives and benefits given to men and women, especially when it is a labor issue. That is why Comstor released curiosities and data on the situation of the female gender in the IT market.
In the IT labor market in 2009 there were 520 thousand people working in Information Technology in Brazil, and only 20% were women. Still in 2010 women's salaries were 34% better than men's, and in management positions, the difference was 65%.
What surveys reveal is that when it comes to logic, women stand out for their results, and in an egalitarian situation, women have intellectual supremacy compared to men. So the arguments debunked are: "Women are not interested in the exact sciences or technology"; "Men's intelligence is different from women's"; and "Women generally prefer careers in the humanities and social sciences to the exact ones."
It is worth mentioning some of the women who made history such as: Ada Lovelace, responsible for the development of the first algorithm that was processed by a machine; and Grace Hooper, creator of what is considered the first computer software.
Today, what we have are women with a greater interest in IT; what is missing are opportunities, that they receive better and greater stimuli and end taboos.
