I dont believe it's directly beneficial for the company as others have listed.
But its actually because programmers are mostly men.
Society doesn't accept the benefits of men working part time yet so a mutually beneficial system like many female/equal ratio oriented positions have has not been pushed in IT.
- elliotec 10y agoThat is a very strange assumption. I don't know any part time female programmers either, and I think you might've just created that societal stereotype out of nowhere.
- jacalata 10y agoI think they're trying to say that stereotypically female industries are more on board with part-time positions, which is an interesting suggestion. I know I had a couple of years in elementary school where the teachers were job-sharing, but I don't know if it is actually common.
- aaron695 10y agoVery common. Also very common in nursing. Also very common in admin work from my experience. I can't think of any male dominated industries where it's common. The USA might be different, as OP mentioned.
