| Title | Digital Literacy and Microeconomic Outcomes: The Case of Kyrgyzstan |
| Summary | In this study, I will use the data from “Life in Kyrgyzstan,” the micro-level panel survey conducted in 2010-2013, 2016 and 2019 in the Kyrgyz Republic for 8,000 individuals and 3,000 households to examine if there is any correlation between digital literacy and microeconomic outcomes, such as employment and individual income. Implemented Fixed-Effect model, I controlled time-invariant factors which might lead to omitted variable bias. I found that individuals with basic digital literacy are associated with higher employment rates and individual income. This study has a significant role in enhancing educational policies and economic opportunities in the Kyrgyz Republic. |
