The authors of this chapter provide a lens of the challenge women face with being successful in the labor force. Readers will learn about the importance of addressing gender inequity for women who seek education, training, and governmental resources for employment just as their male counterparts. The authors also detail how women of different countries and cultures such as Bangladesh, Israel, Kenya, and the United States of America face the challenges for closing the digital divide. When women's employability increases, societies improve. Women with technological skills bring new skills to the workplace, reduce economic needs, boost welfare and growth, and better provide for their homes andfamilies. Readers will gain a better understanding of how governmental agencies and policies, educational institutions, and employers can work toward the same goal, and that is closing the gender digital divide. © 2018, IGI Global.
