摘要
该研究的目的是分析通过信息通信技术(ICT)赋予妇女权力的方式,并促进实现可持续发展目标(sdg)的进程。发展中国家的妇女面临着经济和社会困难,获得信息通信技术的机会有限,这反过来又导致她们缺乏技能,识字率较低,社会参与受到限制。因此,本研究通过2000- 2017年期间的面板数据建模,探讨了信息通信技术对51个发展中国家妇女赋权的作用。通过广义矩量法(Generalized Method of Moment, GMM)研究发现,ICT对女性劳动力参与率有显著的正贡献。GDP增长和政府教育支出等控制变量对增强妇女赋权具有正的、统计显著的作用。研究结果表明,信息通信技术对增强妇女权能产生影响,有助于促进实现2030年可持续发展目标的进程。
Role of the ICT in Women Empowerment and Achieving SDGs: A Case Study of Women Labor Force in Developing Countries
The aim of the study is 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 are facing economic and social hardships and have limited access to ICT, which in turn translate into their lack of skills, lower literacy rate and restricted social engagement. Therefore, present study explores the role of ICT on women empowerment in 51 developing countries by conducting panel data modeling over the period of 2000-17. The study finds that ICT has significant and positive contribution on female labor force participation rate by Generalized Method of Moment (GMM). Control variables like GDP growth and government expenditure on education have positive and statistically significant role to enhance women empowerment. Findings of the study imply that the ICT has an impact on women empowerment and which helps in fostering the process of achieving SDGs 2030.
