Abstract

Digital transformation is a new term recently issued in the Government's National Digital Transformation Program. However, digital transformation and the digital transformation context have been changing the way people live, work and interact with each other today. The most dramatic changes take place in the field of employment and from there spread to other areas of life promoting a culture of gender equality. Up to now, studies on digital transformation have mainly focused on technological changes and economic impacts, while to clearly and correctly understand digital transformation, the context of digital transformation, digitalization and the majority of people's awareness of digital transformation to promote a culture of gender equality have not received due research attention. The article will partly clarify and analyze the introduction of the term digital transformation, the Digital Transformation Program and point out the initial information collected about people's awareness of digital transformation to promote a culture of gender equality through the method of synthesizing public opinion on social networks.
