This paper reports on a research model to empirically examine the relations of education quality, on-thejob training, and the adulthood of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) use by persons, commercials and administrations, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita across 112 countries. The findings designate that education quality is definitely related to GDP per capita, while on-the-job training is not. Education quality is definitely related to ICT use by persons and administrations, but weakly to ICT use by commercial. On-the-job training, though, is definitely related to all the three areas of ICT use. The paper distinctly analyses the countries with upper and lower levels of GDP per capita and finds both resemblances and changes. Healthy compound consistencies and R2s are obtained in all the analyses.

Abstract


This paper reports on a research model to empirically examine the relations of education quality, on-thejob training, and the adulthood of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) use by persons, commercials and administrations, and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita across 112 countries. The findings designate that education quality is definitely related to GDP per capita, while on-the-job training is not. Education quality is definitely related to ICT use by persons and administrations, but weakly to ICT use by commercial. On-the-job training, though, is definitely related to all the three areas of ICT use. The paper distinctly analyses the countries with upper and lower levels of GDP per capita and finds both resemblances and changes. Healthy compound consistencies and R2s are obtained in all the analyses.
