| Abstract: | This paper investigates the extent to which ICT‐related employment is improving the labour situation of women in Spain by reducing female over‐education. Outcomes indicate no reduction in female over‐education, nor does a woman's marital status produce any significant differences. However, the best result is observed for ICT occupations linked to higher job quality characteristics. |
