In general, the profile of employees in tech is very homogeneous. As a result, the representation of women, ethnic, religious, cultural diversity ... is low. Yet, according to McKinsey (2019), "companies that integrate cultural diversity increase their economic performance by 36% and by 25% for gender diversity."
There is a shortage of many positions in the tech industry, a situation that is likely to increase. In fact, according to the BLS, employment in computer and information technology occupations is expected to grow by 13% between 2020 and 2030, which is faster than for other occupations.
his observation being made, through this conference we will analyze the reasons for this lack of diversity and build solutions for an inclusive Tech.
