NEW DELHI: India’s progress on closing the gender gap in smartphone access and mobile internet<\/a> use has stalled, especially in the last year, according to findings by GSMA<\/a>. The body said that there has been negligible growth in the proportion of women using mobile internet and almost no growth in smartphone ownership.

<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>“In India, you can see that prices are affordable, they are low like 10 dollars, but for low income [citizens], it can still be unaffordable. But there are also issues around social norms in India where it does not always seem to be acceptable for women to own a phone or to go online, safety concerns are also a barrier,” Claire Sibthorpe<\/a>, Head of Connected Women and Connected Society at GSMA had said, in response to a question by ETTelecom during a media briefing.

“Among women in India affordability is a challenge and some of these social norms are that they feel it is not acceptable or appropriate for a woman to have a smartphone or go online,” Sibthorpe explained.

Although there was a significant jump from 2019 to 2020 when market conditions and COVID-related lockdowns helped provide justification for women to obtain smartphones and use mobile internet, in the past year there has been no growth in the proportion of women using mobile internet and almost no growth in smartphone ownership, GSMA said in its Mobile Gender Gap Report 2022.

In comparison, the proportion of Indian men using mobile internet in the same period has grown from 45% to 51%, and smartphone ownership grew from 41% to 49%, according to the findings.

On a wider scale, GSMA found that from 2017 to 2020, there was rapid growth in the number of people using mobile internet. “Women experienced disproportionately higher growth than men, narrowing the overall mobile internet gender gap across low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) year on year, from 25% in 2017 to 15% in 2020.”

Across LMICs, from 2020 to 2021, an additional 59 million women started using mobile internet. However, this increase is much smaller than in previous years and is lower than the growth for men over the same period, it noted.

“As a result, in 2021, the gender gap in mobile internet use across LMICs widened slightly to 16% meaning that women are now 16% less likely than men to use mobile internet,” the report expressed, adding that this is equivalent to 264 million fewer women than men using mobile internet.

The top three barriers to mobile ownership for both men and women are affordability, literacy and digital skills, and safety and security, respectively.

The London-headquartered firm recommends that there is an explicit need to address women’s needs and challenges in the design and implementation of mobile-related products, services, interventions, and policies.

It pointed out that targeted intervention is needed from
industry<\/a>, policymakers, the development community, and other stakeholders to ensure that women are no longer left behind, and also focusing more on gender equality and reaching women at an organizational and policy level, among other measures to address the mobile gender gap.

“印度女性负担能力是一个挑战,这些社会规范,他们觉得这是不能接受的或适合女性智能手机或上网,“Sibthorpe解释道。
而拥有智能手机和移动互联网的使用在印度自2019年以来稳步增长男性,女性的故事是不同的。虽然有显著跳从2019年到2020年当市场条件和COVID-related封锁帮助提供理由女性获得智能手机和使用移动互联网,在过去的一年里一直没有增长比例的女性使用移动互联网和智能手机拥有几乎没有增长,GSMA移动性别差距报告中说2022年。

相比之下,印度人使用移动互联网的比例已经从45%提高到51%,同期和智能手机所有权从41%增加到49%,根据研究结果。

在更广泛的范围内,GSMA发现从2017年到2020年,有使用移动互联网的人数迅速增长。“女性经验的增长比例高于男性,缩小整个移动互联网性别差距在低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs),从2017年的25%到2020年的15%。”

在中低收入国家的要求,从2020年到2021年,一个额外的5900万名妇女开始使用移动互联网。然而,这种增加远小于往年,低于男性的增长在同一时期,它指出。

”因此,在2021年,移动互联网的使用中的性别差距在中低收入国家的要求略有扩大到16%意味着现在女性比男性少16%使用移动互联网,”报告表示,这相当于2.64亿使用移动互联网的女性比男性少。

三大移动壁垒所有权对于男性和女性是负担能力,读写能力和数字技能和安全。

从公司建议有一个明确的需要满足女性的需求和挑战在移动设备产品的设计和实现,服务、干预措施和政策。

它指出,有针对性的干预是必要的行业,政策制定者、开发社区和其他利益相关者,以确保妇女不再留下,也更关注性别平等和妇女达到组织和政策层面,等措施来解决移动性别差距。
