Datafication in today’s communicative ecosystem poses a challenge to media and digital literacy, especially with regard to young people’s participation and civic and democratic engagement. We address this issue using the notion of digital citizenship, in order to study the gender digital divide as it relates to competence (i.e., skills and knowledge) and the possibility of leveraging said competence to promote civic education grounded in gender equality in the digital environment. For this study, we surveyed a representative sample of 600 young people between the ages of 16 and 18 in Spain to gauge their digital competence through three variables: technical skills, informational skills and critical knowledge. We then performed a descriptive analysis resulting in percentages, means and standard deviations and a bivariate analysis using significance testing (T-tests) between the above variables and the gender variable. Results show a relative balance between men and women in technical and informational digital skills, albeit tipped slightly in favour of women. By contrast, men claim to have more critical knowledge. Based on these results, we discuss the need to consider the contributions of feminist theories in the field of technology to develop proposals for teaching digital competence that encourage active digital citizenship based on gender equality.

It is in the rural reality of our country that cultural policies are showing more clearly the birth of a new cultural paradigm in which the interrelation between culture, equality and sustainable development is evident every day. Without an overflow of the conventional sectoral gaze in our cultural policies, we cannot understand the new debates and transformative forces that are emerging in rural Spain, debates and initiatives in which the role and protagonism of women is being decisive. In this article we draw an overview of the main lines of force that are disputing a new concept or rurality from equality in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research was to analyse ICTs in the audit of gender equality for migrants in Spain. Research was carried out to determine the characteristics of female migration in Spain as well as to describe the current legal framework for migration in that country. A qualitative, transversal, ethnographic and descriptive methodology was used. It was concluded that new technologies provide a more concise vision of the reality of gender equality for women migrant workers, allowing for faster and more efficient access to information.

Se analiza la gestación y consolidación del activismo feminista que ha aglutinado a miles de profesionales de la comunicación en España a raíz de la huelga del 8 de marzo de 2018, unidas a través de la aplicación de mensajería Telegram y por el hashtag #lasperiodistasparamos en la red de microblogging Twitter. Se ha llevado a cabo un análisis del discurso de los 13.163 tweets publicados de febrero a septiembre de 2018 con esa etiqueta. También se ha analizado el contenido de las conversaciones en su canal de Telegram. Se aportan las opiniones formuladas en entrevistas en profundidad a 20 activistas de esta cibercomunidad. A través de una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa aplicada a categorías extraídas en los discursos, se han observado las causas de este activismo, la eficacia de sus canales de organización y comunicación y las iniciativas derivadas en el espacio urbano. En conclusión, esta pionera concienciación de unidad gremial ha estado motivada por la crisis del capitalismo y por una nueva ola feminista global, tecnológica e intergeneracional. Este activismo de las comunicadoras españolas ha conseguido por primera vez abordar el feminismo desde los grandes medios de masas y ha sumado a la protesta a mujeres de diversas edades, ideologías y profesiones. Además, ha derivado en la constitución de diversas organizaciones y asociaciones de profesionales del periodismo, redes más pequeñas con capacidad de decidir y actuar por el feminismo dentro del espacio urbano en el ámbito autonómico. Especialmente trabajan por la concienciación deontológica por la perspectiva de género en la producción periodística. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyses childcare plans among first-time parents, examining how gender attitudes, parenthood ideals and institutional limitations influence childcare plans. It is based on a sample of 68 dual-earner couples who were expecting their first child in 2011. The analysis reveals that most couples aim to maintain a dual-earner model after the transition to parenthood. However, when difficulties balancing work and family are anticipated, women continue to reveal a greater predisposition to develop "adaptive preferences" to meet childcare needs.

Women's associations have developed significantly in rural Andalucía. Here we analyze their scope and characteristics in the province of Granada, we examine their objectives and activities, as well as the profiles and motivations of their partners. The research is based on a survey administered to representatives of these associations along with focus groups. These partnerships constitute a consolidated local actor, a guide able to channel diverse interests and collective actions, which operates as participation hubs and that promotes empowerment of rural women. They also constitute an important source of welfare, mutual support and social capital that compensates the scarce resources of the population involved. However, financial and structural barriers as well as problems getting used to the new technologies limit their operation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the factors that support a glass ceiling for women in politics, focusing on the electoral system and their effects over the political representation of women deputies at the Lower House in Spain. To do so we analyse the application of legal parity in the 2008 general elections, the first general elections held after the introduction of a quota regulation. We test the effects of the elements of the electoral system, focusing on the district and analyzing the behaviour adopted by the main political parties in Parliament in relation to women's representation in electoral lists.

The article examines the factors that support a glass ceiling for women in politics, especially at the local level, and, by extension, in political life, focusing on the demand factors, in particular the predominant organizational culture within political parties. To do so we analyse the application of legal parity in the 2007 local elections, the first elections held after the introduction of a quota which grants a minimum of 40 per cent and a maximum of 60 per cent to either sex. Given the large amount of candidatures presented throughout the state, this research focuses on Catalan municipalities with more than 5,000 inhabitants where the quota was enforced. The existence of parties with internal quotas and parties that have not adopted them allows us to test whether legally imposed parity blurs differences between both groups in relation to women's representation.

In this article the effects that the participation of women and their partners in the labor market have on fertility are empirically investigated, focusing on the impact of temporary contracts and unemployment. A life course approach is adopted, in which macro-level institutional and cultural factors are considered to be key in shaping the interrelationship between different trajectories of individuals. A longitudinal sample of the European Household Panel Survey, covering the period 1994- 2001, and event history models are used in the analyses. The results show a strong negative impact of employment instability, leading to a postponement in the timing of childbearing and to a reduction in fertility rates. These effects are even stronger when both members of a couple are in a precarious situation in the labor market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
