The main goal of this research is to test the effect of the degree of access, use and skill in the field of information and
communication technology and the variable ratio of liquidity to GDP on the employment rate of BRICS member
countries and Iran. For this purpose, in the first step, the generalities of the research and the literature and the
background of the research have been reviewed. Then, based on the information collected from the data of the research
variables for the period from 2002 to 2020, a research model was designed for 5 BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia,
India, China and South Africa) and Iran. In the next step, in order to analyze the data (test the research hypotheses),
the panel model was aligned using the random effects method. The results show that all research hypotheses were
confirmed. In other words, it can be said, the degree of development of ICT (degree of access), e-commerce (use and
skills in the field of ICT), the ratio of liquidity to GDP (financial development), foreign direct investment, research
and development expenses, labor and capital. It has a significant impact on the employment rate in BRICS member
countries and Iran. At the end, the research results and suggestions based on it are presented. |
