A conversation with Maria Manuel Leitão Marques, MEP, on women’s participation in the digital economy.

-What is the importance of promoting equal opportunities for men and women in the digital economy?

-What is the EU doing to close the digital gender gap?

-How could social partners and trade unions contribute into closing the gap?

#CESItalks is a series of conversations with MEPs and EP officials/experts on social and employment policies.

It is part of a project co-financed by the European Parliament: “WeEP – The EP and workers: a well-designed post-pandemic recovery plan.” The project wants to raise citizens’ and workers’ awareness of the role of the European Union – and of the European Parliament in particular – in the design of social standards.

Against the background of the post-Covid recovery and the heralded digital and green transitions, social and employment policies are more than ever of major relevance.
