Abstract

As we know that the participation of male in technical domain is highly increasing with women in stem industries often facing some issues like inequality. Unfortunately it is an age old problem , to overcome that problem we have created this kind of project . This project deals with one such website which will help women to increase their participation in this technical domain.
Gender differences in IT careers appear to be affecting the competitiveness of companies globally. It is posited that given the current labour shortage in the IT industry, it has become more important than ever to reduce sources of leakage in the IT career paths of women. A model of barriers faced by women in the field of information technology is presented. Three distinct career stages of career choices, persistence and advancement are analzed. At each stage, the effects of social and structural factors which may act as barriers are identified and discussed. Social factors include social expectations, work-family conflict and informal networks, while the structural factors are occupational culture, lack of role models and mentors, demographic composition and institutional structures. A proposed research agenda is offered. It is suggested that these social and structural factors as well as their interactions will result in turnover of women in IT.
