Abstract
This article reviews some of the challenges to equality between women and men in the Spanish economy, considering the digitalization process and the pending tasks for closing the gender gap. Although there have been significant advances in Spain with respect to the European average in female empowerment, and the differences in the labor market that work against women have been gradually diminishing over time, we must not lose sight of the characteristics of access to the digital economy, fundamentally in terms of qualifications and training in technological matters, to not to lose pace on the road to full equality.
