The Influence of Policy on Achieving Gender Parity in Data Science

Policy interventions play a crucial role in accelerating the path to gender parity in data science. Policies that support flexible working conditions, parental leave, and address pay inequity can make the tech sector more attractive to women. Additionally, educational reforms that encourage female participation in STEM from a young age are fundamental. With robust policies and practices, significant strides toward gender parity could be achieved by 2040.
