Opportunities for Women in the Digitalized Indian Economy
Dr. Parameshwara, Radhika K G
India has seen a significant increase in awareness and accessibility of job opportunities due to the rise in digitalization across all sectors. Technology has not only created new jobs but also made existing ones more accessible and convenient. The internet has made remote work opportunities, online training modules, and networking easier, but its benefits are not evenly distributed. Digitalization is linked to improving gender outcomes, alongside various socio-economic factors. This study explores the impact of increasing digitalization on women's opportunities in both formal and informal sectors of the economy. Further, the study emphasizes the use of digital finance, improved digital infrastructure, and digital awareness among women in India. The paper investigates the opportunities provided by digitalization to enhance women's economic contribution and empowerment in the Indian economy. The main aim of the study is to review the digitalization of Indian economy and to diagnose the opportunities for the women in the digitalized Indian economy.
