The gender pay gap in tech companies can directly impede technological progress. When women are paid less than their male counterparts for the same work, it not only devalues their contribution but also diminishes their motivation to innovate and take risks. This lack of incentive can lead to a decrease in the quality and quantity of innovative outputs. Furthermore, as the technology sector becomes increasingly global, companies that fail to address pay inequality may find themselves at a disadvantage, lacking the diversity of thought necessary to create universally applicable solutions.
