This article aims to study the impact of the adoption of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in terms of net job creation, from the countries of the West Africa Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). In other words, do ICTs create more than they destroy jobs? To answer this question, this study focuses on a panel data econometrics technique covering the period from 2000 to 2017. The results indicate that ICT destroys 0.03% of low and medium-skilled jobs on the one hand and driving demand and creating 0.05% of high-skilled jobs on the other hand. The total effect of ICT on jobs is therefore positive and concludes in net creation. We therefore suggest to the leaders of concerned countries to accentuate policies to match training and employment with particular emphasis on training in electronics, telecommunications and especially digitalization.

本文旨在研究西非经济和货币联盟 (WAEMU) 国家采用信息和通信技术 (ICT) 在创造净就业方面的影响。换句话说，信息通信技术创造的就业机会多于破坏的就业机会吗？为了回答这个问题，本研究侧重于涵盖 2000 年至 2017 年期间的面板数据计量经济学技术。结果表明，ICT 一方面摧毁了 0.03% 的中低技能工作，并推动了需求并创造了 0.05% 的高技能工作。 -另一方面，熟练的工作。因此，信息通信技术对就业的总体影响是积极的，并以净创造结束。因此，我们建议有关国家领导人加强培训与就业相匹配的政策，特别是电子培训，
