The known in empirical economics question‘Why so Few? Why so Slow? Why so Low?’ refers here to thepersistently small number of women involved ininnovative activities, the slowness of change in theinequalities between women and men in these fields, andwomen’s continuing lower rank in business and academicpositions. In developing countries, women`s labour andentrepreneurial activity remains an ‘untapped resource’ foreconomic growth. In recent years, the rising proportion ofwomen participating in the labour market has drawn theattention of many scholars. This positive change towardsmobilising previously unused human resources isperceived as one of the positive externalities enhanced bythe seemingly boundless flow of information andcommunication technology. This research examines, froma macroperspective, the association between economicdeployment of ICT, women`s labour market participation,and economic growth in 64 developing countries between1990 and 2017. We rely on the macrodata extracted fromthe World Bank Development Indicators (2018), theWorld Bank Enterprise Survey, the World DevelopmentReports and the World Telecommunication/ICTIndicators Database (2018). Our methodologicalframework, in addition to standard descriptive statistics,combines time trends, graphical non-parametric analysisand panel vector-autoregressive models.
