Digital technologies and gender inequality in working life (Digital Gender)

The research project Digital Technologies and Gender Inequality in Working Life deals with systematic differences with regard to (stereotypical) gender differences in (new) digital technologies. To this end, digital technologies are first categorized on the basis of the corresponding human capital investments and the (inter-)human interactivity of the technology.

The research project examines the extent to which different digital technologies have different effects on men and women in the workplace. In particular, gender norms, work structures and stereotypes are examined for gender-specific attitudes, reactions and consequences by taking institutional and social contextual factors into account.

The focus is on two central mechanisms in particular: gender-specific self-selection and gender discrimination by employers according to the degree of digitalization of professional activities.

Priority program of the German Research Foundation (DFG): Digitalization of the world of work

The DFG Priority Programme investigates the social conditions and forms of processing of the current digitalization for the working society as a whole and the dynamics and impact of this systemic – i.e. uneven, interacting and contradictory – transformation. It is assumed that the digitalization of the world of work is taking place as a systemic transformation that is fundamentally and sustainably changing all institutional systems of the working society.
