The technology industry has always been considered a male-dominated field and women face various challenges and discrimination in the industry. One of the major issues that women face in the tech industry is maternity discrimination, which not only hurts the tech industry such as brain drain, but also affects the image of this industry. Maternity discrimination refers to unfair treatment or discrimination against women because they are pregnant, giving birth, or raising children. This paper analyses the current situation of the tech industry, its characteristics, requirements for employees and case studies in order to propose solutions and implications for the tech industry, of this maternity discrimination. The significance of studying female fertility discrimination in the tech industry is to reveal the unfairness that this discrimination has caused to women's career opportunities, salary packages, and promotion opportunities, and to provide a basis for promoting a more inclusive and equal working environment in the tech industry.
