dc.description.abstractA major finding of the study showed the relationship between the gender divide and the overall digital divide was found to be tenuous. Contrary to what might be expected, gender patterns in Internet use do not vary equally with Internet penetration, or improvement of a country’s Infostate. Women’s rate of Internet access and use will not automatically rise with national rates of Internet penetration. A range of socioeconomic and political factors affect and frame the gender divide, including social and cultural barriers to technology use; education and skill levels; employment and income trends; media and content; privacy and security and location/mode of access.en
