Diversity in tech is startlingly low. Women make up just 27% of the digital workforce. And recently when Paysa reviewed the pay of 1,143 job roles at 63 tech companies they were unable to get accurate figures on the pay gap as there were simply too few women employed to compare.
In the US, figures are even more stark: 61% of startup companies are either all male or mostly male and just 8% are all or mostly female.
