It seems there are gender disparities in many types of professions. For example, managers hire less women in engineering and programming. Why do you think that is?

There are several potential factors that could be contributing to this phenomenon. Firstly, gender bias can lead to discriminatory hiring practices. This could be caused by the hiring managers themselves or the organizations they work for. Secondly, women may have fewer opportunities for these types of jobs due to gender-segregated educational and professional paths. This may lead to a lack of exposure and experience in these fields. Finally, there may be gender differences in the kinds of qualifications and work experience being sought by employers in these roles. This makes it difficult for women to gain access to these positions.
