 One of the key aspects of ICT economic impact has to do with job creation. Obviously the primary one has been the importance that ICT has on economic growth, which has to do with GDP increases and and that has been quite researched. Another aspect that is critical from a social standpoint is to what extent information and communication technologies can create employment and this is a critical area, particularly in developing countries, particularly in those countries where maybe the economy is not contributing enough to job creation in the context of a relation that is increasingly young and therefore looking for work and we've addressed this from different perspectives. Obviously the more straightforward one is that ICT through its deployment creates jobs simply because you need people to build telecommunication networks or data centers. We call these a construction effect, but there are others that are more important that have to do with the spillover of ICT over the rest of the economy. The primary one has to do with the ability of ICT to unlock growth in traditional sectors of the economy, primarily by promoting sales or allowing for the recomposition of value chains and therefore cost reductions that lead to the increasing growth of certain enterprises. We've seen that it's not homogeneous across all sectors of the economy, but nevertheless we've seen that in the aggregate these unlocking scalability efforts is quite important. And then the third one, the third job creation effect has to do with the innovation effect, is simply by means of allowing new companies, new business models, new initiatives to develop and therefore require additional labor. That being said, there are some sectors where ICT might lead to a reduction in jobs, particularly those that are labor-intensive, but overall what we've seen is over time, particularly in emerging countries, ICTs have a positive job creation impact on the whole of the economy. I believe that the opportunity is quite important because all our research would indicate that the positive impact of ICT on development is neither automatic and not immediate and it requires public policy and policy makers to work in facilitating that positive impact. In particular, when it comes to my chapter, I'm outlining the need for policy makers to constantly monitor the effects of ICT on employment, determining whether there are differential impacts across regions or industry sectors and create those mechanisms that could either stimulate job creation or alleviate the potential disruptions that ICT might have on certain sectors of the economy. So in that regard, I believe that the book brings back an increasing focus on the need to implement very proactive public policies that allow developing countries to harness the more important effects that ICT will have in my particular area, job creation, and in general in terms of the overall socioeconomic impact.
