We currently find that the gender digital divide in terms of access, use and training in ICT (information and communication technologies) is present from the earliest age in children, although adolescence is the period when it affects important future decisions. In this paper, we present contributions for educational intervention in adolescence, generated within the framework of the European project "ICT Go Girls!", aimed at breaking down gender stereotypes in the use of ICT and ensuring that girls can take advantage of future employment opportunities in the ICT sector. The results show that we have managed to break down stereotypes and encourage girls to reflect profoundly on their professional future. The project includes a useful method for schools and educational communities to implement this initiative autonomously.

Despite the new values regarding gender equality, it is not clear that these have achieved substantive changes in the masculinity model of the new generations. This research aims to investigate the extent to which the gender role of men who have grown up and been educated in a supposedly more egalitarian society has changed. To this end, a qualitative methodology based on discussion groups and semi-structured interviews with adolescents in the final years of compulsory secondary education has been used. In general, we have observed persistence of the patriarchal male role, with certain remarkable variations, caused by some social changes that have transformed the relations between sexes.

Some young people return to the family home after they have become emancipated, a phenomenon known as boomeranging. The boomerang phenomenon refers to the return of young people to the family home after a period of emancipation. This article aims to analyse the factors that lead to the decision to return, how this occurs and the profiles of young Andalusians returning to the family home. A survey of Andalusian youth (2017) prepared for the design of the 3rd Comprehensive Youth Plan for Andalusia was studied. The results show that certain variables and situations experienced increase the probability of return - being a woman, the intention to continue studying, having been a victim of violence or consuming certain narcotic substances on a regular basis - while others decrease the probability - increasing age, a higher level of education, having a permanent contract, having a stable partner or having offspring.
