The 2018 Global Gender Gap Report, published by the World Economic Forum, benchmarks 149 countries on their progress towards gender parity across four thematic dimensions. Economic dimensions will, according to the report, take over 200 years to close. Alongside this, the report also noted a 72% gender gap in Artificial Intelligence, a sector which, it is stated, holds critical in-demand skill sets for the future.

In this episode of Industry Experts, we speak to female tech entrepreneur Zara Nanu. Her company, Gapsquare, provides a straightforward AI-based software, and using this data, focuses on analysing and tackling the gender pay gap for any company.

As a female in technology, and a leading expert on diversity and empowerment, Zara discusses with us the gender pay gap alongside equal pay, occupational segregation and changing culture in the workplace.
