Author(s): Parwinder Kaur, Rashmi Gujrati, Hayri Uygun

For emerging economies, information and communication technologies (ICTs) present an opportunity as well as new challenges for females. In contexts of efficient and effective performance, the development of new amenities and professions, and interconnection between many agents, ICT adoption, digitisation, and mechanisation offer tremendous new business opportunities. Female labour force participation and digitalization are frequently cited as one of the major drivers behind any country's protracted growth in the economy. The information comes from the World Development Indicator. The study period lasted from 2001 to 2018. Individual internet usage has an adverse influence on female labour force participation, according to the findings. Fixed Broadband Subscriptions and mobile cellular subscriptions were both negative. The policy implication of this study is that Government must develop and implement policies to increase female labour force participation. Despite its insufficient data, this investigation is interesting and necessary for international policy framework. It emphasizes the necessity of taking any action as well as the key to understanding why digitization is vital and how legislation may prioritize women's equal access to information technology and training as a means of enhancing their capabilities and literacy.
