One of the reason is for not hirng women in workplaec is , women have to worry about child care issues and also they feel the need to limit themselves to jobs that offer some schedulinng flexibility.Also the issues comes where it's usually the woman who adjusts her career and/or work hours to accommodate child care, staying home with the kids when they are sick, have days off from school, etc. Furthermore, in 2015 only 18% were female US computer graduates where in 1985 there were 37% female .

Even without taking its values into account, Apple is a "better company" by being more diverse" .Also he added ,"I think it's our fault — 'our' meaning the whole tech community," he says. "I think in general we haven't done enough to reach out and show young women that it's cool to do it and how much fun it can be."
