Open Access
|Dec 2021Abstract
The spread of ICTs has a huge impact on rural economic transformation. The purpose of this paper is to comprehend the significance of ICTs in facilitating transformation in Sri Lanka. The information came from a national survey of 26,600 people. The Probit endogenous switching model was used. The results show that the marginal probability of getting ICT-related jobs has increased by 6.8%, ICT users have reduced their poverty level by 12.6%, and access to digital information has increased by 28.1% in the rural sector. These shards of evidence demonstrate that ICT dispersion causes rural-urban transformation in Sri Lanka.
