Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
La reducción de la pobreza ha sido un tema extensamente discutido y analizado por diferentes disciplinas académicas, sin embargo, hasta ahora no se ha encontrado una fórmula mágica para mitigar esta problemática. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es analizar la contribución de las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) a la erradicación de la pobreza en los países en desarrollo. El principal resultado de este trabajo es que el cambio tecnológico es un factor importante para la reducción de la pobreza y la desigualdad en la región latinoamericana. Para que las TIC incrementen la productividad total de los factores de cada país son necesarias políticas que mejoren la calidad de la educación, la protección de los derechos de propiedad y el acceso a las TIC de los hogares y empresas públicas y privadas.
