Abstract

The chapter sheds light on how the use of digital technology has enhanced the skillset of women especially after Covid-19. The author has also conducted an empirical study on how a better awareness and increased use of digital tools have made females more confident and powerful. Women's empowerment can be a crucial driver of macroeconomic growth and stability in the future. Digitalization is instrumental to achieve this goal: ICTs development provides enormous opportunities for women, who should be an integral part and key actors of all decision-making processes. To this end, we should mainstream a gender equality perspective and use ICTs as tools. We should also work on removing the gender barriers to high-tech education and training and promote equal opportunities in ICT-related businesses for men and women.
