This study complements existing literature by investigating how the advancement in information and communication technology affects the formal economic participation of women. The focus is on 48 African countries for the period 1990‐2014. The empirical evidence is based on ordinary least squares, fixed effects and the generalized method of moments regressions. The results show that improving communication technology increases female economic participation with the following consistent order of increasing magnitude: mobile phone penetration, internet penetration and fixed broadband subscriptions. The findings are robust to the control for heterogeneities across countries. Policy implications are discussed in the paper.

“…It is frequently argued that remittances from temporary migrants could reduce the productivity of their households, such as by inducing labor-force withdrawal (Chami et al 2005;Zachariah and Rajan 2009;Adams 2011;Antman 2013;De and Ratha 2012;Abdulloev et 4 For example, Lenard and Straehle (2012) argue that guest work is necessarily unjust (repugnant), while Hidalgo (2010) By reducing the human capital stock at home, the migration option could thus in principle lead to fewer local job opportunities, opportunities that could be preferred by some migrants.…”
