Abstract

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between gender gap, information communication technology (ICT), and institutional and social infrastructure. The study analyzes how the ICT interacts with social and institutional infrastructure to impact the gender equality. Using a panel dataset for 209 countries covering the period from 2000 to 2010 and dynamic panel generalized method of moments estimation (GMM), the paper finds that both ICT and institutional infrastructure have significant positive effect on gender equality. More importantly, combination of better ICT and institutional quality exerts an independent influence on gender equality, over and above any influence each of these two variables may separately have.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliği, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri (BİT) ve kurumsal yapı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışma toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliği üzerinde BİT ve kurumsal yapının etkisini ve BİT ve kurumsal yapının karşılıklı etkileşiminin bu etkiyi nasıl değiştirdiğini analiz etmektedir. Dinamik panel genelleştirilmiş beklentiler yöntemi tahmincisini ve 209 ülke için 2000-2010 dönemini kapsayan bir panel veri setini kullanarak hem BİT hem de kurumsal altyapının toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği üzerinde önemli pozitif etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Daha da önemlisi daha ileri BİT ve daha iyi kurumsal altyapı birleşiminin toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliği üzerinde bunların ayrı ayrı etkilerinden bağımsız ve bunlara ek olarak karşılıklı etkileşimden kaynaklanan bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur
