Enhancing women’s engagement in economic activities through information and communication technology deployment: evidence from Central–Eastern European countries
Abstract
This study takes a macro perspective to examine the associations between the economic deployment of information and communication technology (ICT), women’s labor market participation, and economic growth in Central–Eastern European countries between 1990 and 2017. We use data extracted from World Bank Development Indicators, World Development Reports, and the World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database. Our methodological framework combines time trends, graphical non-parametric analysis, and panel vector-autoregressive models. The findings reveal significant relationships between ICT and women’s economic activity. Panel vector-auto-regression model estimates and Granger causality tests indicate causal relationships between ICT, economic growth, and female youth employment but not between the remaining pairs of variables.
