Abstract

This paper investigates the extent to which ICT-related employment is improving the labour situation of women in Spain by reducing female over-education. Outcomes indicate no reduction in female over-education, nor does a woman’s marital status produce any significant differences. However, the best result is observed for ICT occupations linked to higher job quality characteristics.
