The Position of Women in the Digital Area

Abstract

In recent times, digitization has entered many areas of life. It is a daily part of our lives and affects us without perhaps realizing it. It is a specific area with the need for certain knowledge and skills. At first glance, it may seem that it is an exclusively male domain. But the position of women in this area is irreplaceable and has a justification. Since the digital area is tied to higher knowledge and the ratio of tertiary graduates of women is significantly higher than men's, we decided to devote ourselves more deeply to this area. The main aim is to identify the position of women in the digital area in V4 countries. We use the Women in Digital Scoreboard and analyse the V4 countries and compare them with the other EU countries. We identify the weak part of this scoreboard in V4 and try to find an answer, how significant are the relationships between the share of female board members and this score.
