Inclusive Digital Transformation

While technological innovations represent numerous opportunities for labour productivity, technologies are not gender neutral. Emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence might not bring desirable outcomes but instead perpetuate already existing gender biases and inequalities at the workplace, such as digital divide and occupational segregation in the labour market, gender pay and pension gap and work-life balance.

Intersectionality as an analytical and policy framework allows us to understand social relations that involve multiple intersecting forms of discrimination based not only on gender, but also class, ethnicity, age, urban or rural disparities, differences in the nation-states welfare systems and socio-cultural and historical trajectories of the nation states.
