The path to a career in technology often begins with education, but disparities in encouragement and opportunity start early. From a young age, girls are less encouraged to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) interests compared to boys. This leads to fewer women studying tech-related subjects at university level, which translates into a lower number of women entering the tech industry. This educational disparity is a foundational issue contributing to the gender pay gap in tech.
