Book Description
The role of information and communication technology (ICT) in an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world transcends geographical boundaries, economies, and sectors. Over the past decade, ICT has helped create the most rapidly growing industry sectors, driven efficiency in government and business operations, and developed the essential building blocks to a knowledge-based economy. The ability of ICT to change the way people do things is either hidden in internal processes---such as how a government office manages data collection---or manifest in the end product---such as digital support for health care services in a remote province. While the level and nature of the benefits of ICT may differ for every stakeholder, there is a consensus of what ICT can help provide to governments, businesses, and citizens: faster access to relevant information, an efficient means for communication, an enhanced ability to make informed decisions, and a voice to otherwise unheard peoples. As these cases from the Asian Development Bank would show, access to ICT alone will not result in significant, lasting change. It is the adoption of appropriate technology, paralleled with an enabling policy environment, a responsive and needs-based approach, improved individual and institutional capacity, nurtured partnerships with key stakeholders, leadership by local champions, effectively managed change, and sustained support that make the difference.

This report presents data about the current living conditions and challenges faced by persons with disabilities in Mongolia. Policy implications are identified based on the country's Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

This report presents data and information about the current living conditions and challenges faced by persons with disabilities in Mongolia. It summarizes the latest findings from a five-year project of the Asian Development Bank and the Government of Mongolia aiming to address the need for community-based services and support for PWDs.

Information and Communication Technologies for Women's Socioeconomic Empowerment
Author: Samia MelhemPublisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 0821381342
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 99
Book Description
This paper reviews how women in the developing world access and use information and communication technology (ICT). It examines the discourse and controversies surrounding the digital gender divide, including links to poverty and illiteracy. Major themes concerning women and ICTs are explored, such as women in the ICT workforce, how girls and women relate differently to ICT, and opportunities and barriers for women in science and technology in general. Current research relating to gender and ICT is often country-specific and is more prevalent in developed countries than in developing countries. This paper suggests where additional research is needed on barriers to women s entry and access to ICT. The overall objective of this paper is to influence policy dialogue around women and ICT for development by raising awareness of the digital gender divide. Economic opportunity for women in ICT will not be realized until policies address gender considerations and ensure that ICT investment contributes to more sustainable and equitable development.

China’s Digital Economy: Opportunities and Risks
Author: Ms.Longmei ZhangPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1484389700
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
China’s digital economy has expanded rapidly in recent years. While average digitalization of the economy remains lower than in advanced economies, digitalization is already high in certain regions and sectors, in particular e-commerce and fintech, and costal regions. Such transformation has boosted productivity growth, with varying impact on employment across sectors. Going forward, digitalization will continue to reshape the Chinese economy by improving efficiency, softening though not reversing, the downward trend of potential growth as the economy matures. The government should play a vital role in maximizing the benefits of digitalization while minimizing related risks, such as potential labor disruption, privacy infringement, emerging oligopolies, and financial risks.
