Abstract
In recent years, with women’s social advancement, we have been asked in various locations to “increase the proportion of women in society.” Of course, the voices are particularly loud in the field of information technology in which we are engaged. However, direct use of female quotas, that is, blatantly lowering the threshold only for women, may lead to reverse discrimination. On the other hand, since including women themselves may change the criteria for selection, it is difficult to strike a balance between the two. In Japanese Olympiads in Informatics (JOI), we have received similar questions from various quarters. We are all trying to think hard about it. In this article, we shall explain the first step towards increasing the number of female participants in JOI.
