Digital transformation – the effects on economies and societies of digitisation and the use of interconnected digital technologies and data – is offering new opportunities across the world, and holds promises for enhanced productivity growth and improved well-being of all citizens. However, a significant gender gap in the access, use and ownership of digital technologies is still present in many G20 economies and beyond, limiting the equitable realisation of the benefits of digital transformation. Furthermore, the transformation is profoundly changing the content and nature of jobs and the skills needed to perform them. This uncertainty clouds the potential impact of digitalisation on the labour market for women: new and more flexible jobs can foster greater labour market participation and better, more formal jobs, but new challenges appear as automation and ICTs spread across sectors and occupations and potentially erode existing labour policies and standards. Fresh insights and evidence are needed, to enable governments to accurately diagnose issues and take steps to empower all individuals in our increasingly digital world.
