Abstract
The COVID-19 crisis provides a novel perspective for studying a pre-existing issue of the gender digital divide. This chapter examines the literature on women's digital economic participation during the pandemic. A systematic literature review (SLR) of 20 peer-reviewed papers from various social sciences, encompassing the COVID-19 period of 2019 to early 2022, was conducted. The discussions surrounding the impact on women's migration to work from home are extended across the three key levels from which digital inequalities emerge: (1) digital accessibility, (2) digital literacy, and (3) family role. The prevailing narrative in the reviewed publications revolves around women's unpaid care labor during the pandemic, the primary cause of the remunerated time decrease and productivity. Overall, the findings suggest that digital inequality is embedded in societal structural inequalities; thus, it is crucial not to let the overemphasis on digital accelerations leave behind the deep-seated challenges of women's digital inclusion amidst diverse roles.
