Abstract

In this paper, we develop the Women's Information and Communications Technology Development Index (WIDI) framework for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Member States. While there are a number of global ICT indices, there are no standard global data metrics for ICT gender-related statistics in developing countries. Therefore, this research has been conducted by the Asia Pacific Women's Information. This study referenced some of the major global ICT indices and created a framework that used their basic structure and included the various measurement factors such as socio-cultural factors element and ICT policy for woman. The WIDI framework is supported by a back-end survey that was designed by the research team and reviewed by ASEAN taskforce members. Through WIDI, we can compare ICT development status and gender information gap and measure the national information gap. By presenting the basis for policy decisions on eliminating gender disparitie can help improve the social status of women.

본 연구에서는 ASEAN 여성의 ICT 개발 정도를 측정할 수 있는 맞춤형 국제지수인 WIDI(ASEAN Women's Development Index)개발하고자 한다. 국제적인 ICT 개발지수는 많으나 개발도상국에서 성 분리된 ICT 통계를 위한 지수가 존재하지 않는다. WIDI 프레임워크는 국제 ICT 지수를 기반으로 아세안 여성의 사회 문화적인 요인과 나라의 여성정책 유무등 다양한 측정 요소를 포함하여 5개의 카테고리와 14개의 서브카테고리로 구성하였고 설문지를 통해 자료를 수집한다. WIDI는 ASEAN 여성의 정보통신 발전 현황과 성별 정보 격차를 비교하고 국가별 정보격차를 측정하여 성별 정보격차 해소를 위한 정책결정에 기초자료를 제시하여, 여성의 사회적 지위향상에 도움을 줄 수 있다. 또한 ASEAN 회원국에서 WIDI 현황을 지속적으로 확인함으로써 ASEAN 여성의 인적자원 개발과 사회 경제적 지위향상을 위한 자료가 될 것으로 기대한다.
