Innovative leaps in digital technology alongside changing gender roles in society may open a window of opportunity to renegotiate gendered work patterns. The main question addressed in this article is the extent to which digitalisation holds the potential to reorganise gendered work relations, and if so why. First, we elaborate on the interrelation between work and gender in capitalist societies. Our main argument is that digitalisation is shifting the boundaries between paid and unpaid labour with far-reaching repercussions for women and men. Second, we will identify core digitalisation processes capable of overcoming or changing gendered work patterns....

In Germany, like in many other countries, much of the research on technological changes and their consequences has been devoted to investigating the field of industrial production. A shortcoming of this research is that many female-dominated occupations are excluded per se from consideration. However, whether and to what extent men's and women's perceptions of technological changes in their workplace differ is an important subject of debate. This article addresses the following questions: To what extent are men and women experiencing changes in the technologies of their workplace? Are women less likely to experience such changes? Do men and women anticipate...

The rise of the platform economy has brought about crowdwork as a new form of flexible work where individuals solve specific problems or provide specific services or products in exchange for payment via online platforms. Survey data for crowdworkers in Germany collected by the 'Digital Future' collaborative research unit are used to compare gender inequalities in hourly pay among crowdworkers sampled from a marketplace platform and a micro-task platform. The results reveal that fathers earn higher hourly pay than mothers and childless women and men, but only on the marketplace platform. These differences can partly be explained by fathers being better...

In this special issue, we want to capture different country perspectives on the connection between the digitalisation of work and gender relations. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world has suddenly found itself in an exceptional situation that had not been foreseen in our editorial project but proved to be relevant for gendered work patterns and digitalisation. Digital systems and devices have seemed to offer the best solutions to the situation of the pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns all over the world. It has become apparent, however, that not everyone has equal access to the internet and technical knowledge of computing, and that...
