Indian Women Making the Significant Proportion of Artificial Intelligence Workforce Analytics Insight

According to a global study, in terms of women's advancements in the workforce, India is inconsistent due to various reasons. The study also revealed that while the participation of Indian women in the workforce is only 27 percent, they have a higher-than-average share in artificial intelligence skill set. The global provider of executive search, leadership assessment, and development, Heidrick and Struggles discovered that the country has an inconsistent history of the advancement of women due to cultural norms that fundamentally male-dominant and strongly favor males from birth. The gender inequality in India is hard to tackle which subsequently leads to a low 27 percent participation of women in the workforce. The report also revealed that the low participation rate is due to various cultural factors, as well as challenges faced by women in the workplace, including healthcare access, gender bias, and lack of flexible working opportunities.
