I don't know what sort of call centers you hare talking about, but the ones I have heard of from friends in India are pretty gender balanced. Secondly, no woman in the several most recent crop of graduates (from the US) I know has been trying to get into a call center job. The one I most hear is "I want to work in a non-profit job in DC / New York / <insert big city here>". Thirdly, with the more or less egalitarian society for people under 30 in urban areas, social status is much more important than economic status. There isn't any society-wide mocking of people who work in call centers, but there is some of people who work in tech. Ergo, less people (and specially women) go into tech in their 20s.
