Abstract: Education is a main determinant of employment, but not in isolation. Informationand Communication Technologies (ICT) skills have become a key element to facilitate employment opportunities. The growth in female educational attainment and ICT use is closing the gender divide and favouring female employment. We present evidence on this for the Spanish labour market using: a) a dynamic labour demand function; and b)analyzing the main factors explaining probabilities of finding a job based on traditional characteristics that affect employability and others related to ICT use. We develop this analysis for total population and distinguishing men and women using a Heckman model.
