This publication was carried out by Ascend Consulting on behalf of and in accordance with objective instructions provided by eSkills Malta. It aims to explore gender gaps in the digital sector and digital jobs in Malta, to explain their causes and to explore how gender gaps affect organisations.
The findings show that ICT-intensive local industries have improved their efforts to increase the number of women working in their organisations, but also stresses that more needs to be done by the public sector in order to benefit from a more diverse environment. Overall, the current situation of women in the digital sector in Malta is by far uneven. Girls are less likely to study ICT subjects and women remain in digital jobs. Moreover, the gender gap in digital jobs is widening.
The study was collected on the basis of data collected through an online survey targeting HR managers, CTOs or executive directors. A total of 116 responses were received. It should be seen as a local continuation of the guidelines for increasing and retaining women in ICT. Both studies can be used by organisations in Malta in future strategy, policy and activities.
