Report on the Conference ‘Change in Work through Digitalisation = Change in Gender Relations?’

Ines Entgelmeier

How does the digitalisation of work change gender relations? And how can  digitalisation create new opportunities for more gender justice? These are the questions that were addressed at the conference ‘Wandel der Arbeit durch Digitalisierung = Wandel der Geschlechterverhältnisse?’ (‘Change in Work through  Digitalisation = Change in Gender Relations?’), which was organised by the ‘Network  for Labour Research NRW’ as a joint event of the Düsseldorf Research Institute for Social Development and the Dortmund Social Research Centre on 19 May 2019 in Dortmund. The organisers, Dr Saskia Freye and Ellen Hilf, welcomed over 100 guests at the Erich Brost House in Dortmund. Speakers from different scholarly fields, politicians, and trade unionists discussed how ‘Work 4.0’ can be made more gender equitable.
