The International Federation for Information Processing IFIP is a multinational federation of organisations concerned with information processing. Currently it has 45 member societies representing 62 countries. One of its main objectives is to bring together computer professionals to stimulate research, development and the application of information processing in science and human activity.

IFIP has thirteen Technical Committees (TC) to which various member countries nominate the members. The technical committees cover a broad range of computing themes. Each TC has one or more working groups affiliated to it.

The objective of a working group is to bring together a group of computing professionals interested in a specific area of work. Each WG is expected to act as a forum of exchange of ideas by organising conferences and publishing monographs. The WG members need not be members of IFIP's national societies, and they are accepted on personal merit and activity.

The WG 9.8 Women, Work, and Computerization is part of the IFIP-TC 9 - Relationship between Computers and Society. Its predecessor was the SIG 9.1.1 Women, Work, and Computerization.
