Sažetak
This paper focuses on the ICT sector digital gender gap divide in a longitudinal analysis of The Republic of Croatia's position in the frame of EU-27. The digital divide, especially the digital gender gap, is currently under European Union poli-cy loupe due to developmental efforts and aspires towards EU-27 lead in a global digital race. The paper explores the share of employed female ICT specialists in the ICT sector's total employment, aged 15 to 74, from 2004 to 2019 in the EU-27 countries, emphasizing Croatian society placement. The deviation in standard deviations (Z-score) and percentage deviations of the European Union countries from the EU-27 average in 2019 was calculated. The data used for the analysis have been obtained from Eurostat (2020): Employed ICT specialists. The results show the deviation of women's employment in the ICT sector of the EU-27 from the EU-27 average ranges from -1.8 to 2.3 standard deviations. Croatia surprisingly scores above the EU-27 average. Finally, developmental recommendations, limitations and further research developments in the topic frame are stated.
