Why this research?

The technology sector is one of the main drivers of growth and employment in Argentina, but this development does not translate equally into the participation of women, especially in technical and leadership roles.

Faced with the lack of systematized and publicly accessible information on what happens within private sector technology companies, this research by Chicas en Tecnología seeks to generate evidence to understand how this participation is expressed today and to provide concrete inputs for decision-making, in a context marked by technological acceleration and the transformation of work.

What you don't measure, you don't transforms.

What is happening in the private technology sector?

Subrepresentación femenina y segregación de roles: las mujeres representan el 36% del empleo en las empresas tecnológicas relevadas y su participación es menor en desarrollo, datos y liderazgo técnico
Techo de cristal en los niveles jerárquicos: en las empresas grandes solo el 20% de los cargos directivos está ocupado por mujeres
Mayor nivel educativo, menor acceso relativo: el 76% de las mujeres del sector tiene formación universitaria o de posgrado, frente al 54% de los varones
Flexibilidad extendida, corresponsabilidad pendiente: el teletrabajo llega al 98% y la flexibilidad horaria al 96%, pero solo el 18% de las empresas cuenta con lactario
Brechas poco reconocidas y baja institucionalización: el 90% de las empresas afirma que no existen diferencias salariales por género, solo el 18% mide la brecha salarial y el 30% tiene indicadores de equidad
Brechas poco reconocidas y baja institucionalización: estudios estiman una brecha salarial de entre 17% y 20%, pero el 90% de las empresas afirma que no existen diferencias por género

Let's build a fairer future of work

Sharing this information is key to circulating the data and making women's participation in the technology sector part of the public conversation.

Looking at data to transform the future

The data from Parity in Code not only allow us to assess the current state of technological employment, but also to identify the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead to transform the sector. Having evidence is a starting point for rethinking practices, policies and decisions within companies, the educational ecosystem and the public sphere.

Moving towards a more egalitarian technological development requires will, commitment and concrete actions that expand opportunities, diversify roles and guarantee fairer conditions for those who are still underrepresented today.

This study invites us to use data to imagine and build a more equitable future of technological work.
