JAKARTA: 抖阴短视频鈥檚 delegation to a group of 20 major economies meeting in Indonesia said that empowering women in the digital sphere will help increase their participation in the workforce, as countries agreed to boost international cooperation.

The G20 Ministerial Meeting on Women鈥檚 Empowerment, which was held in Bali Aug. 24-25, included discussions on closing the digital gender gap and women鈥檚 entrepreneurship and was attended by delegations of G20 member and invited countries, international organizations and private sector companies.

Indonesia this year holds the rotating G20 presidency and has hosted a series of high-profile meetings, which will culminate in a leader鈥檚 summit in November.

抖阴短视频, which was represented by the Family Affairs Council in last week鈥檚 meeting, said that women鈥檚 contribution to economic and social development is one of the Kingdom鈥檚 focuses as it seeks to achieve its 2030 Vision, a reform plan designed to diversify the country鈥檚 economy.

鈥淥ne of the 2030 Vision goals is to increase women鈥檚 participation in the workforce and support women(-owned) businesses,鈥� Dr. Hala Al-Tuwaijri, secretary-general of 抖阴短视频鈥檚 Family Affairs Council, said in a statement shared with Arab News on Monday.

鈥淭his could not be achieved without empowering women in the digital and financial sphere.鈥�

Initiatives and programs that support women in the workforce, help them reach work-life balance and provide them with the right tools to join a future-ready economy can be achieved through future work models such as flexible and remote work, Tuwaijri said.

The digital economy is a 鈥渒ey enabler for a vibrant society, efficient government and a thriving economy,鈥� Tuwaijri said. Women鈥檚 participation in the Saudi workforce had reached 35.6 percent by the last quarter of 2021, surpassing the Kingdom鈥檚 target of 30 percent, she added.

The global labor force participation rate for women is just over 50 percent, according to data from the World Bank, compared to 80 percent for men. Studies have found that women are less likely to be formally employed and have fewer opportunities to expand their businesses or progress in their careers.

The Bali conference concluded with participants agreeing to strengthen international cooperation in an effort to empower women.

鈥淭he participants have expressed their support to increase women鈥檚 participation and access to leadership positions, especially as decision-makers,鈥� Indonesian Minister of Women Empowerment and Child Protection Bintang Puspayoga said.

鈥淪trong commitment from stakeholders, including countries and international organizations, is the key to (achieving) gender equality and empowering women.鈥�
