dc.description.abstractThis chapter explores the impact of the digital industrial revolution on gender equality, focussing on women's well-being and agency freedom as conceptualised by Amartya Sen's Capability Approach. Sen's framework emphasises the importance of individual freedoms and capabilities in achieving human flourishing and social justice. Women are disadvantaged in the age of the digital revolution, both educationally and financially, as well as in terms of wider life and fulfilment opportunities (capabilities), and this is deepening the gender gap rather than gradually closing it. Critically, many of the solutions to digital gender inequality reproduce outdated neoliberal discourses and thus their inherent inequality. The chapter begins by examining the dual aspects of women's freedoms in Sen's approach: well-being freedom, which refers to the ability to achieve valuable functioning, and agency freedom, which encompasses the capacity to make authentic choices and shape one's own life. It then analyses how the digital industrial revolution has affected these freedoms, highlighting the potential of digital tools to expand women's capabilities and choices, while also acknowledging the risks of digital exclusion and the reinforcement of gender-based constraints. This study will focus on examples from Türkiye as well as international perspectives such as the Eurostat and the United Nations. The chapter identifies key areas where digital technologies can enhance women's well-being and agency, such as education, employment, and political participation. It also discusses the challenges posed by the gender digital divide, online harassment, and the reproduction of gender stereotypes in digital spaces. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.en_US
