📢 The GSMA Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 is out today! Now in its 7th edition, this flagship report shares the latest #MobileGenderGap statistics and explores the key barriers to equal mobile ownership and mobile internet use in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Women’s rate of mobile internet adoption increased over the past year across LMICs and there are now more women using mobile internet than ever before. The gender gap in mobile internet adoption across these countries has narrowed for the first time since 2020 due to women adopting it at a faster rate than men. Women are now 15% less likely than men to use mobile internet and of the 785 million women who are still not using it, around 60% live in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. ♀️ The Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 is written by Nadia Jeffrie and funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Sida and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Thank you very much to our donors for making this vital research possible. 👉 Download the report here: https://bit.ly/3UIqBmq 👉 Don't miss the official launch webinar today at 1pm GMT+1: https://lnkd.in/etr3wWg8 #DigitalInclusion #mobile #MobileInternet #GSMA #UKAid #Sida
