Gender gap in digital skills also impedes women’s access to essential public services that are digitalized, as well as digital forms of business and commerce. More specifically, in Moldova women occupy only 31% of jobs in the ICT sector and only 19% of digital professions. As a result, women get jobs with a lower level of qualification and, respectively, of remuneration in the ICT sector. In response to the COVID-19 effects, companies have shifted further to digital commerce, setting up their digital presence through online platforms/marketplaces, including own direct-to customer commerce platforms .
