The near-ubiquitous spread of ICT offers unprecedented
opportunities for social and economic agents, reshapes social and
economic structures and drives the emergence of socioeconomic
networks. This book contributes to the growing body of literature
and present state of knowledge, offering the reader broad evidence
on how new information and communication technologies impact
women's economic and social empowerment and hence have an impact on
overall welfare creation. More specifically, it concentrates on
demonstrating how ICT may become "empowering technologies" through
their implementation. The book is designed to provide deep insight
into the theoretical and empirical evidence on ICT as a significant
driver of women`s social and economic development. Special focus is
given to examining the following broad topics: channels of ICT
impact on women's development; the role of ICT in enhancing women's
active participation in formal labor markets; examples of how ICT
encourages education, skills development, institutions development
et alia, and thus contributes to women's social and economic
empowerment, as well as case-based evidence on ICT's role in
fostering women's equality. The primary audience for the book will
be scholars and academic professionals from a wide variety of
disciplines but mainly those who are concerned with addressing the
issues of economic development and growth, social development, the
role of technology progress in the context of broadly defined
socioeconomic progress. Chapters 1 and 3 of this book are available
for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product
