Smart Contracts Enhancing Equality or Exacerbating Disparities

The impact of smart contracts on gender equality in the tech industry is not straightforward. On one hand, they offer mechanisms for enforcing agreements impartially, which could contribute to an equitable working environment. On the other hand, the current gender gap in tech, and specifically in the blockchain sector, means that the development and implementation of smart contracts might inadvertently perpetuate existing inequalities. Efforts to encourage more women into blockchain and tech could help mitigate this risk and ensure that smart contracts become a tool for enhancing gender equality.
