Women implement more initiatives in the metaverse, but are a minority in web3.0 leadership positions

The metaverse has provoked reflections among internet users regarding usability, accessibility and technology projections. But in addition to breaking digital barriers, now the metaverse is also the target of dense social discussions. This is what a report released by the international consulting company MCkinsey shows. According to an article released last Monday (21), women stay longer in the metaverse and are more willing to engage in projects in the environment, but they are a minority in leadership positions in companies that have capital involved with web3.0.
