Few of the leadership positions in the technology sector are held by women
Males successfully complete their technical studies if there are women among them.

Since technical studies and fields of education are largely male-dominated, the post-university job market reflects similar statistics for the gender ratio.
This is one of the many reasons why women earn less than men on average.
For this reason, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology has employed more women in technology fields than other institutions.
This is so that women can make non-traditional career options, and recruit more women to choose and complete their education in the field of technology.
Currently, we find that 5% of leadership positions in the technology sector are held by women.
The famous ADA project is one of the gender balance initiatives used at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, which seeks to help women take an interest in male-dominated study.
The ADA project also offers its own professional networks and closely monitors women, but the impact of the measures has been found to fade quickly if efforts to recruit women are not kept pace.
"This is why we find it important to continue hiring women projects over a long period of time to get a return on investment, not only for women, but for men as well," said Lane Berg, managing director of the ADA project.
An intriguing observation that the researchers discovered through their actions to recruit and retain more women is that more male students complete their ICT education when more women study alongside them.
The researchers also revealed that gender balance creates a better culture with more diversity.
"This suggests that the gender balance makes the study more attractive to both men and women," said Vivian Annette Lagsen, a professor in the Department of Interdisciplinary Cultural Studies at Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
