This research examines the impact of ICT development on female labor market outcomes in Vietnam, drawing insights from four waves of the nationally representative Vietnam Household Living Standard Surveys spanning from 2012 to 2018. By capitalizing on the variance in ICT development levels among provinces as an exogenous factor, fixed effects models are employed to analyze the data. Our findings underscore that a 10 percent enhancement in ICT accessibility correlates with a notable increase in contract job opportunities, particularly benefiting married women, low-educated married women, and married women from minority ethnic backgrounds. These results affirm the positive role of ICT development in bolstering the local labor market and facilitating improved job matching for vulnerable women across Vietnam.
