Why is Russia so good at encouraging women into tech?
Russia has a very low birth rate for native Russians.  Here in the US, having kids and working in engineering is difficult.  My wife took 5 years off and it has definitely affected her pay and advancement.  Low pay and little vacation maybe have something to do with it too.<p>Both the wife and I are engineers.  Our daughter shows no interest in tech.  She does like to mix stuff, so maybe Chem E.  Though I&#x27;m not going to prod her.  STEM just does not pay over the long term.
