Abstract: In addition to the negative effects generated by the pandemic period, nowadays, the digital and ecological transition exerts additional pressure on the economy and society, especially on the labor market. Digital transformation is changing people's live, offering new opportunities to increase productivity and to improve the well-being of the citizens. To get the desired results, the EU's policies and measures must put people at the center of the actions by ensuring an equitable transition. Gender equality is a key factor in promoting an inclusive and sustainable growth. The digital transformation provides new tools to increase the participation of women in the labor market and to close the gender gap. In this context, the main objective of this paper is to examine the evolution of gender disparities between Member States and to show how Europe's digital decade can contribute to remarkable progress towards gender convergence by improving the labor market conditions.
