Her research interests are in models to study the flows of the patients in hospitals, in gender gap in higher education and in labour market studies.

Title: Gender and Information and Communication Technologies: results from PISA 2018

Abstract: 

ICT literacy has become an important key driver regarding the competence for the adults, but even more for young people. As it was pointed out in 2003, ICT literacy is defined as “the interest, attitude, and ability of individuals to appropriately use digital technology and communication tools to access, manage, integrate, and evaluate information, construct new knowledge, and communicate with others in order to participate effectively in society” (Lennon et al., 2003). Using data from 2018 Programme for International Student assessment (PISA), this work will show the gender differences in ICT literacy and will explore the relationships in ICT literacy with literacy in mathematics, reading and science.
