Yes, a lot more. Here it is. Follow links. https://heterodoxacademy.org/2017/08/10/the-google-memo-what-does-the-research-say-about-gender-differences/ … The diagram was an illustration of the error in understanding populations. It was a memo on a forum for discussing diversity issues, not a scientific paper (tho it cited several).
Meta analysis says the gender diff on ability is almost nil.
Yep, its interest which differs. This has been known for some time. You can see it in schools.
Damore's overall point was that gender imbalances in tech might be the result of several factors, differing m/f interests being the most concrete, and that concentrating on systemic sexism as the one-and-only possible cause was therefore never going to work.
So, of the three factors - ability, motivation, opportunity - is it only motivation damore says is causing disparity in career choice? Does this theory also apply to disparity among different races? google has a CS programs for teens/youths. that's not just focusing on sexism.
No, he was critiquing policies trying to increase the number of women in tech because they focussed exclusively on sexism and ignored all other factors. He was trying to reintroduce a range of other factors into the discussion. Race wasn't the subject so he didn't address it.
As a private company, what kind of policies does google have in place to increase # of women in tech? What are those policies exactly?!?
Its policies seem to focus on identifying systemic/unconscious sexism and eradicating it, the expectation being that when this is achieved, the workforce will become 50/50 m/f.
It's hard to believe it's google's official goal of diversity policy to achieve 50/50 gender ratio in tech on national level. I think the 50/50 thing was brought up by some random employee he was arguing with during the training program.
