Nobody prevents Indian women to apply for H1B jobs in US.
> Its counter-productive to institute gender and diversity requirements at (tech) companies, where the core problem is at the fundamental immigration level.
I don't see anything counterproductive in blind recruitment. It's a normal practice, along with randomizing resume review in a few big companies in places like India, or China exactly because the issue of nepotism, bigotry, casteism, classism, and people slipping their university fraternity members into the company is so severe there.

- musingsole 6y agoChinese and Indian cultures suppress female H1B applicants in systemic ways that the US can't influence even if it wanted to.
- krona 6y agoDo you have data on this as it relates specifically to H1B applications?
- musingsole 6y agoThat's a ludicrous question.
- ihsw 6y agoAsking for evidence of your hypothesis is ludicrous. Got it.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoIs it? The data in the original comment indicates that Chinese H1B applications are substantially more female heavy than most countries. So unless you're prepared to argue that Canada and the UK are "suppressing female H1B applicants in systemic ways" even more than China, or you have some other source of data indicating a bias, there has to be another explanation. The story could plausibly be true if restricted to just India, although even then I think you've gotta confront the fact that the UK's gender balance is only marginally closer to 50/50.
