Gender Equality in the Digital Transition in Portugal: what place for Women?

Outcomes

In addition to mapping them, the project will analyse public policy initiatives in the light of models that typify and monitor the impact of gender mainstreaming programs in the digital and the factors determining their success (Marcelle, 2002; Lagesen et al., 2022). To achieve the abovementioned objectives, a set of complementary tasks will be carried out:

review and mapping of actions and public policy measures adopted in Portugal to promote women's participation in the digital;

collection and systematization of regulations and indicators from international bodies;

• critical content analysis of perspectives on "gender mainstreaming" and "specific actions" present in national public policies;

• stakeholder consultation through focus groups with those responsible for/representing public policy areas (e.g., digitalization, equality, education, labor).

We also intend to ensure a strong participatory and training component, through coordinated work with the entities supporting this research – the Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality and the Directorate-General for Statistics in Education and Science -, and a workshop with stakeholders.
