Digital Inclusion in Kenya: Examining the Research Gap between ICT and Well-Being
(2019) EKHS42 20191Department of Economic History
- Abstract
- Research on developing economies has largely ignored the possibilities for shifting the center
of attention towards well-being instead of economic growth. Due to the deficiency of research
on well-being, especially with regard to ICT, this study approaches the current research gap and
attempts to integrate recent literature by proposing a combination of frameworks and indicators.
Kenya is not only characterized by large inequalities but is currently striving towards building
a national innovation system. The country was therefore selected to examine whether ICTs are
affecting inclusive development. The results accentuate the urgent need for further research as
they are indicative for positive implications of ICTs on inclusiveness... (More) - Research on developing economies has largely ignored the possibilities for shifting the center
