According to a TeamLease Digital report, the percentage of women working in contract tech positions increased from 9.51% in 2020 to 27.98% in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Women<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The report, titled ‘Gender Parity – Shaping Workforce Equity’, analyzed data from 13,000 associates over a four-year span.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women Working in Contract Tech Positions Increased From 9.51% in 2020 to 27.98% in 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This increase in women’s participation was fueled by elements such as improved digital infrastructure, remote work, and more robust DEI initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In terms of gender diversity, Global Capability Centers (GCCs) took the lead, with female representation rising from 31.4% in 2020 to 38.3% in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global workforce strategies and structured DEI policies in the GCCs helped to support this improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite an increase from 11.43% to 13.60% over the same time period, women in senior leadership positions in the GCC are still underrepresented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the gender pay gap in the GCC is 16.10%; at senior levels, it rises to 16.4%, and in high-demand tech roles, it reaches 22.2%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pay disparity in non-technical positions in the GCC, however, is substantially smaller at 0.8%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to help reduce pay disparities, the report highlights the necessity of increasing the number of women working in specialized tech positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of more inclusive hiring practices, female participation in IT services increased from 7.8% in 2020 to 21.2% in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career advancement is sluggish, though, as mid-level female representation increased only slightly, from 4.13% to 8.93%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The percentage of women in senior positions in IT services varied, reaching a high of 7.39% in 2023 before marginally declining to 6.91% in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pay Disparity Even More Noticeable in Non-Technical IT Services Roles at 18.3%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gender pay gap in IT services is 3.55% overall, but it rises to 8.34% at the senior level and 6.12% at the mid-level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pay disparity is even more noticeable in non-technical IT services roles, where it stands at 18.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unconscious bias, a lack of mentorship, and unsupportive workplace policies are some of the obstacles that prevent women from advancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech jobs continue to be dominated by men in non-tech industries like automotive, BFSI, healthcare, and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2020 and 2024, the percentage of women working in tech positions in these industries increased from 1.9% to 14%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In spite of this, there are still relatively few people in senior positions, 5.14% at mid-level, and 4% at entry-level leadership positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In non-tech industries, the gender pay gap is 13% at senior levels, 19% at mid-level, and 6% at entry-level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 7.17% of women are employed in tech positions in these sectors overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pay gap in non-technical sectors is 15% for non-technical roles and 18% for tech roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report urges businesses to implement transparent compensation practices, pay equity audits, and structured career paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To promote inclusivity, it also suggests skills-based hiring in developing fields like data science, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
