摘要：This paper examines the role of ICT in determining the amount of economic freedom enjoyed by
women. It is an analysis of the impact of extended education in the form of ICT related
knowledge on the competitiveness of female workers in a growing globalized labour market. The
study also looked at the challenges faced by women in juxtaposing their roles as wives and
mothers in relation to global demand for their skills. Data for the study was gathered through a
two-paged structured questionnaire administered to a randomly selected group of working class
female respondents, professionals and non-professionals alike. It was discovered that level of
education has certain role to play in the determination of women empowerment, but its
importance has been eroded by the nature of ICT, which, in some cases, requires only operant
abilities to ensure the liberation of women from poverty, subjugation and disease.
