Abstract
This paper explores the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) skills and cybersecurity awareness on Filipino women's participation in the digital economy. Sremming from the Human Capital Theory ( Becker, 2006), which states that women with higher ICT skills and cybersecurity awareness would have better access to digital jobs and online business opportunities, the concept of Digital Divide (van Dijk, 2013) suggests that their participation in the digital economy may be limited by personal categorical inequalities such as age , education and employment. This study utilizes logistic regressions analysis, which uses women's digital economic participation as a dependent variable and ICT training and cybersecurity awareness as key independent varaibles, to determine how different factors influence the likelihood of women's involvement.
