Women’s Participation in the Digital Economy: Improving Access to Skills, Entrepreneurship, and Leadership Across ASEAN

This policy brief provides evidence of the persistent digital gender divide across ASEAN and explains how it is of key importance to close this divide in order to ‘build back better’ based on more inclusive digital economies during the post pandemic economic recovery. This calls for a region-wide policy strategy and action plan to maximise access to skills, entrepreneurship, and leadership positions for girls and women in the digital economy across ASEAN. This policy brief is based on the discussion paper ‘Gender Digital Equality Across ASEAN’ prepared by Dr Araba Sey for ERIA’s Strategy and Partnership Programme.
