Asian Shares Inch Higher On Wall Street Gains
Asian stock markets edged higher following gains on Wall Street. Positive earnings reports from IBM, Google, and hopes of economic improvements in the U.S. and China encouraged buying. The Japanese Nikkei initially fell as the yen jumped after the Bank of Japan's new monetary easing policies were seen as not providing immediate stimulus. Most analysts believe the yen's rise is a temporary correction and will resume declining on expectations of aggressive monetary easing from the Bank of Japan. German investor sentiment also rose to a two-year high, further boosting global market optimism.
Infoshot: Diversity in Tech Firms
Over the last couple of months, many of the big US tech companies have been releasing their diversity reports. It’s reinforced a fact most people have known for a while: Tech is a white man’s game.
While many of the companies have a fairly high proportion of women in the workforce, few are in tech or leadership roles. Pinterest’s Tracy Chou recently gathered info on the number of female software engineers at various startups and big tech companies.
Women make up about 16% of engineers from 150 startups. The only company with more than 100 engineers and more than a 20% female workforce is ThoughtWorks. Dropbox, Mozilla and Yelp’s engineering workforces are only 8% women, Github’s is 6%.
But while gender and tech is an issue often brought up, ethnic diversity is also still a major issue. According to US census figures, the ethnic make-up of the country’s 317 million-odd people is around 16% Hispanic, 12% African America and 4.7% Asian. Look at the diversity reports of some of the US’ biggest tech firms however, and you’d get a very different picture.
Tech companies seem to have a disproportionate amount of Asian workers compared to Hispanic or African American workers. Most have fewer than 3% African American workers and 9% Hispanic, but 30% Asian – often within tech or leadership roles. Only Apple can say its company workforce is even close to the ethnic make-up of the country.
This isn’t to say companies should purposely go out of their way to hire Hispanic or African Americans over other ethnicities. Companies should hire the best people for the job irrelevant of other issues. But why there are so few people from certain communities when they make up a significant proportion of the population needs to be looked at.
InfoShot: Smartphones Dial Up The World
Smartphones are the phasers that bridge real and virtual worlds and as prices have fallen and more countries have created wealth they have become enormously popular. As the mobile device most of use to access the internet they are arguably the most significant devices in use today. But smartphones cost more than ‘dumbphones’ – basic handsets – or feature phones and so they are still advancing in market share. However, falling prices, more wireless broadband access and deliberate attempts to crack more markets on the part of vendors mean that smartphones are coming to more of us all over the world.
