FEW FEMALE EMPLOYEES
Female employees only account for about a third of the workplace in the tech sector, according to MediaTek Foundation executive director Cynthia Feng.
Female graduates make up an even smaller percentage of the workforce in the semiconductor industry and other relevant fields like electrical engineering and technological information, she continued, with 13 to 15 % of graduates in the semiconductor industry.  ,
According to research publications she has published, prejudices may have prevented females from working in the tech sector, she told CNA.  ,
Between the ages of 10 and 14 years old, women “lose involvement in mathematics and tech because of the perception of their roles in society or lack of confidence in their own skills,” she said.
Now, MediaTek’s female employees account for 20 per share of its entire workplace- a proportion it is looking to increase in a bid to improve innovation.
” Adding children’s opinions may help to find a more creative and complete solution to a problem,” she said.  ,
Additionally, it wants to hire more women to complete the gender gaps in the workforce because the tech sector is struggling with a talent shortage as a result of a declining birth rate and increased competition from foreign tech giants. More than 50 % of Taiwan’s technology companies are hiring, according to a recent study conducted by a neighborhood job bank.
Now, there are more than 100, 000 job opportunities merely for technicians.
