Description:
Digitalisation affects almost every aspect of our daily lives and its influence is spreading rapidly. Today, no generation is more in touch with digital technologies than young women and men. They are the most digitally skilled in the European Union and nine out of ten use the internet every day. The era of digitalisation is here and with it comes new opportunities and challenges for gender equality. This report is part of EIGE’s work to monitor EU progress towards gender equality in the context of the objectives of the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA). The findings are enriched with the voices and opinions of youth from across the EU, providing valuable insights on the topic at hand.
