frequent updating of digital skills to increase opportunities for both employment and
entrepreneurship. G20 countries must also foster the equitable participation of women
in the development and governance of STEAM-related industries.
• Promote initiatives (formal and non-formal education) with relevant content that are flexible,
online, affordable, and user friendly.
Investing public funds to ensure affordable, quality and professionalized
universal care services for people with dependents, including those in the informal

regulations on access to and control of land, assets and resources and promoting
mechanisms to guarantee equal pay for work of equal value.
• Guarantee that schools have zero tolerance to harassment and to discrimination on the grounds
of gender.
Analyzing the Future of Work from a gender perspective and design policies to
ensure equitable impact. Major trends such as the gig economy, automation and
machine learning should be addressed in terms of their gender-specific impact,
focusing on the social protection and labor rights of women workers.
