Gender Bias Text Analysis in Python

Language plays a crucial role in shaping our perceptions and attitudes towards gender in the workplace. Studies have shown that gender bias in language can have a significant impact on the way women are perceived and treated in the workplace. For example, research has found that job advertisements that use masculine-coded language tend to attract more male applicants, while those that use feminine-coded language tend to attract more female applicants. Join our live training on using scraped freelancer reviews to identify differences in language commonly used for male vs. female freelancers, and learn how to use this information to promote gender equity in the workplace.
