Abstract
This research investigates the impact of digitalization on women's empowerment in 21 MENA
countries from 1992 to 2019. The study measures women's empowerment using the Female Labor
Force Participation Rate and digitalization using Mobile Cellular Subscription and Individuals
Using Internet. The results suggest that mobile cellular subscription has a positive and significant
impact in the short run but is insignificant in the long run. However, laws and rules in favor of
women enhance their empowerment through better access and usage of digitalization, particularly
using the internet. The study recommends policymakers focus on implementing laws and policies
that support women's empowerment to enhance the effectiveness of digitalization in empowering
women
