Description of the project:

The project investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) on social policy-making processes and the comparative political economy of welfare. It seeks to understand how digitalization influences social work practices, economic growth, and policy decisions addressing issues such as aging populations, homelessness, and disabilities. The study highlights the interplay between technological adoption and social welfare systems to ensure inclusive development and social justice.

Methodology of the Study

The research adopts a mixed-method approach that combines qualitative and quantitative techniques. It follows an inductive research strategy to explore how ICT integration affects social policy and welfare processes. Data will be gathered primarily through secondary sources, including scholarly journals, books, official reports, and online resources. The analysis will focus on synthesizing evidence to establish relationships between ICT use, social policy implementation, and economic development. The timeline spans approximately 2–3 months, structured into phases such as literature review, methodology formulation, and findings synthesis.
