Abstract
The rapid expansion of the digital economy has profoundly reshaped employ-ment dynamics in China. Drawing on microdata from the China General Social Surveys (CGSS) conducted in 2010 and 2021, this study delves into the evolving gender gap within China’s digital workforce. Through bivariate analyses and logistic regression, this research examines how gender intersects with various factors, including age, educational attainment, account status, number of children, internet usage, and geo-graphical region, to elucidate disparities in digital employment. Findings indicate a shift towards greater gender parity in the digital sector, notwithstanding enduring challenges for women. The responsibilities of childbearing and childrearing have constrained women’s engagement in digital occupations, although this impediment is diminishing. Educational achievements and internet usage emerge as pivotal determinants of digital employment for both genders. Workers in the more developed Eastern region exhibited higher likelihoods of digital employment than those in other regions. Diverse strategies are essential to tackle gender gaps in digital employment.
