ICT, employment and labor productivity in Nigeria: an ARDL bound testing approach
This study investigates the link between ICT, employment on labor productivity Nigeria in the time span of 31 years from 1990 to 2020. The Autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) is applied for ICT, employment-productivity nexus in the short and long run. Short run results indicate that in Niger...

| Summary: | This study investigates the link between ICT, employment on labor productivity Nigeria in the time span of 31 years from 1990 to 2020. The Autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL) is applied for ICT, employment-productivity nexus in the short and long run. Short run results indicate that in Nigeria ICT has positively increases labor productivity, while employment have a significant negative impact on worker productivity. The results also depict, in the long run
ICT such as computer hardware and communication equipment positively and significantly impact productivity rate. ICT contributes around 0.32% in the long run on labor productivity. While employment shows higher negative and significant impact on labor productivity with about 15%. The higher employment rate is associated with lower productivity of workers in Nigeria. |
