Abstract

With a view to understanding the changes taking place, studying their impact, and identifying potential opportunities for achieving gender equality, the chapter aims to look at women in the labour market and at the gender digital divide. It discusses the structural change for equality in the information and knowledge society and analyses women's autonomy in the new technology paradigm. It provides four different gendered perspectives to understand women in the labour market in the era of technological development. A gendered perspective on new forms of employment highlights how job markets can be opened up in new and inclusive ways to women. The chapter discusses that if the digital gap is bridged, then it can provide new sources of global economic growth.
