Amman, The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship on Monday announced the results of a study on the supply-demand gap for digital skills in the labor market.
The study, conducted by the ministry’s Digital Skills Association (DigiSkills) as part of the Youth, Technology and Jobs (YTJ) project, showed a thorough assessment of digital skills required to keep pace with the dramatically increasing demand in the information technology and communication sector (ICT) locally, regionally and globally, according to a ministry post published on social media.
The results showed a 12-percent growth in the ICT sector workforce in 2021, which comprised 25 percent females and 75 percent males.
The ministry called for enhancing female participation in the workforce through flexible working hours, remote working, training programs and educational campaigns.
