Boys rate hard work at school lower than girls do across 61 countries, with bigger gaps in richer, more gender-equal nations.

A large study of children reveals that the supposed gender gap in risk-taking vanishes when economists account for cognitive errors and guessing. Instead, risk tolerance depends heavily on the size of the reward and individual personality traits.

The AI industry is experiencing rapid growth, creating some of the fastest-growing, highest-paying jobs in the global economy. However, women are significantly underrepresented in these roles, with only about a quarter of new AI hires being women compared to 50% in non-AI roles, according to LinkedIn data. In executive positions, this figure drops to just 13%. Women are also overrepresented in roles at high risk of AI disruption, such as customer service, making them more vulnerable to job loss due to automation. Despite AI's potential to be more meritocratic due to its novelty, the industry has become increasingly reliant on personal networks and referrals, which often disadvantage women. The gender pay gap in AI is substantial, with men earning $45,000 more than women on average across all AI occupations. This disparity is partly due to women being concentrated in lower-paying roles like data annotators. The article highlights that women in AI face unique challenges, including being the only woman on teams, needing to speak up more to be heard, and lacking mentorship opportunities. The breakneck pace of AI development also creates work expectations that can be difficult to balance with family responsibilities, particularly for women who take maternity leave. Many women leave the tech industry at higher rates than men due to non-inclusive cultures and barriers to advancement. Initiatives to promote women in tech have been scaled back as companies reduce diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, partly due to political pressures and legal challenges. The Department of Justice has targeted DEI programs, claiming they violate anti-discrimination laws, leading to multimillion-dollar settlements for companies like Accenture, Deloitte, IBM, and PayPal. Advocates warn that the current trend could create the greatest gender pay gap in generations and leave women out of shaping a technology that will define the future economy. Brenda Darden Wilkerson of AnitaB.org describes this as 'a sort of backsliding' in progress for women in tech. The article emphasizes that the risk is not just a participation gap but a power gap, as women may be excluded from building the very technology that will shape economic mobility.
