GirlsHack aims to bring female students closer to some of the most sought-after technology jobs of the 4.0 industry, based on technology and innovation which are rapidly changing the world around us.
GirlsHack wants to empower more female students to start developing their careers in technology fields in order to have the opportunity to create a future that will be more inclusive and innovative.
Only 1.4% of women versus 5.3% of men are in charge in ICT
17% of women in management positions in the ICT sector have 20% lower salaries than their male counterparts
Female students lack female role models, especially at the university level. They believe that technological jobs are not suitable for them.
31% of girls in primary schools believe that occupations that require coding and programming are not for them.
In high school, that percentage rises to 40%, while during studies it rises to 58%.
Today, a STEAM degree provides 40% more earnings than the average degree
