GSMA Africa’s Post

Have you read the GSMA Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024? 📱♀ Our latest data reveals that the gender gap in mobile internet adoption across low- and middle-income countries has narrowed for the first time since 2020 due to women adopting it at a faster rate than men. This reduction was driven primarily by South Asia and brings the overall mobile internet gender gap back to where it was in 2020. Women are now 15% less likely than men to use mobile internet across LMICs. This translates to around 265 million fewer women than men. 📕 In this annual flagship report, read about the barriers that are preventing equal mobile internet use between men and women, and learn what can be done to address them 👉 https://bit.ly/3UIqBmq #MobileGenderGap #DigitalInclusion #mobile #MobileInternet #GSMA #UKAid #Sida

This year, the Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024 provides new data on women’s and men’s perceptions of whether mobile internet is equally important for both genders. ♀♂ In 11 of the 12 survey countries, 70% to 92% of those who are aware of mobile internet believe that it is equally important for men and women, with little difference by gender in most cases. However, among those who do not think this, a greater proportion believe that it is more important for men to use mobile internet.

This #InternationalWomensDay I’m pleased to share a preview of the latest #MobileGenderGap numbers, ahead of the release of @GSMA – Mobile for Development’s flagship report in May, The Mobile Gender Gap Report 2024.    New data shows that the gender gap in mobile internet in low- and middle-income countries narrowed slightly from 19% in 2022 to 15% in 2023. This brings the mobile internet gender gap back to where it was in 2020. While these figures show there has been some progress in the last year, the gender gap in #MobileInternet remains substantial. We need informed, targeted action to drive #DigitalInclusion for women ♀️    Learn more in @Claire Sibthorpe’s #IWD2024 blog: https://bit.ly/4c6HGyA   #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquality #UKAid #Sida

The latest GSMA Mobile Gender Gap report launched today reveals that in low- and middle-income countries, women are now 15% less likely than men to use mobile internet. Of the 785 million women who are not using it, around 60% live in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Women in these regions are still the least likely to use mobile internet compared to men, with gender gaps of 31% and 32%, respectively. The report provides valuable insights on the gaps that currently exist and barriers that need to be overcome in closing the gender digital divide - https://bit.ly/4ajyp45
