Role of the ICT in women empowerment and achieving SDGs : a case study of women labor force in developing countries

This study aims to analyze the ways women are empowered through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and fostering the process of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Women in developing countries face economic and social hurdles and have limited access to ICT, which transforms into their lack of skills, lower literacy rate, and limited social engagement. Therefore, this study explores the role of ICT on women empowerment in 51 developing countries by conducting panel data modeling throughout 2000-17. The study finds that ICT has a positive contribution to the female labor force participation rate by applying the Generalized Method of Moment (GMM). Control variables like GDP growth and government expenditure on education have a positive and statistically significant role in enhancing women?s empowerment. The findings of this study explain that the ICT impacts women?s empowerment and returns, beneficial for fostering the process of achieving SDGs 2030..
