There is a daycare center next door to Intel, to which many workers bring their children. I believe that we will get there soon, and that will allow more women to work in the field. Such activity is welcome in the eyes of researchers Danziger and Rachman-Moore, but they claim that it's only a drop in the bucket. A woman who takes maternity leave, and was earning a certain amount, has to decide whether she wants to continue to work full time and to earn the same salary, or to work part time, to earn less, and to delay her promotion. It a system of decisions which is hard to deal with.
Some women deal with the difficulties by starting their own high-tech companies.
This is evident in a study by Nira Boneh of the Technion, who wrote her master's thesis on women who launch high-tech firms. An additional motive was the desire to combine motherhood and a career, and to create a flexible work schedule. According to Boneh's study, women who start high-tech companies place an emphasis on the field of human resources in the companies they manage. She says that the phenomenon is similar to the increase in the number of women studying law and medicine. Rachman-Moore claims that soon women will become involved in this flourishing field, but they will have to fill in the gap of the years they missed.
