On this March 8, at Cursos Femxa we have decided to do a brief review of the evolution of digital transformation in Spain related to gender equality.

Back in 2019, we were studying how the role of women in digital employment was evolving, and now, once the pandemic has pushed us all towards developing digital skills, we wonder if we have managed to reduce the gender gap in this area.

The situation of digital employment
In the study of the problems that concern digital employment we must differentiate between two issues:

Work processes have changed, the Internet has infiltrated all business areas and now, every employee must be familiar with the latest applications in communication, management, administration and in a multitude of operational positions that have introduced new programs and connected devices.

Digital employment has increased.
As a result of this increase, caused by the implementation of this trend to digitalize work in all areas of the economy, growth opportunities have arisen for the sector that provides hardware or software, and for development or digital communication agencies.

The study “Gender indicators of the digital society” by the National Observatory of Technology and Society reviews the process of digital transformation that the Spanish economy is undergoing from the perspective of gender issues, relating it to the situation in other member states of the European Union.

The conclusions of this study indicate that the paraguay phone data adaptation to the digital format of many of our daily activities has been carried out equally between men and women. However, the type of activities for the use of digital media and the training inherent to them, continues to mark a clear difference between genders.

Training in STEM disciplines should be encouraged among the female gender to reduce this gap in digital work, since 80% of ICT positions are still occupied by men and the world of care remains female, with the same roles as always surviving, but transferred to the digital world.

The data on frequency of use and digital skills, however, are even, showing even greater female use of devices and applications, which indicates that the evolution has to be positive and that it must involve ad hoc training to cover both positions in the technological sector, and to assume new digitalized functions in companies of any sector by female workers.
