<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>Washington DC: The lack of universal and affordable access to the internet<\/a> may widen income inequality<\/a> within and between countries, a senior official of the International Monetary Fund (IMF<\/a>) has said while urging policymakers to foster a digital-friendly business and regulatory environment.

Advanced economies like the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and Canada have the highest access rates, said Mercedes Garcia Escribano, Deputy Division Chief in the IMF's Fiscal Affairs Department.

However, big emerging economies show large disparities in the proportion of internet users in their populations which range from about two-thirds in Brazil and Mexico to about one-third in India.

Countries in sub-Saharan Africa followed by many in emerging and developing economies in Asia are among those with the lowest access to internet despite being world leaders in mobile money transactions.

There is also a large variation in internet connectivity by firms in sub-Saharan Africa -- only about 60 per cent of businesses use email for business compared to about 85 per cent in Europe and Central Asia, said Escribano.

\"COVID-19 and the great lockdown triggered a mass migration from analog to digital and highlighted that access to the internet is crucial for socio-economic inclusion,\" she wrote in a blog post.

High-speed internet is key for working from home, for children's education when they cannot attend school in person, for telemedicine<\/a>, for benefiting from social support programmes and for enabling access to financial services for everyone, especially for those living in remote areas.

Still, internet usage remains a luxury: half of the world's population does not have access to the internet, either through a mobile device or through fixed-line broadband.

\"The digital divide<\/a> -- the gap between those who have internet access and those who do not -- is more like a chasm both within and between countries,\" wrote Escribano.

Income inequality and inequality of opportunity may worsen -- even in advanced economies -- because disadvantaged groups and people who live in rural areas have more limited internet access.

The disparity between men and women in their labour force participation, wages, and access to financial services may increase where there is a gender gap in access to the internet.

This could be the case in many emerging and developing countries where fewer women than men own a mobile phone, said Escribano.

The relatively low internet access might depress productivity in emerging and developing countries. IMF staff research finds that a one percentage point increase in the share of internet users in the population raises per capita growth by 0.1 to 0.4 percentage points in sub-Saharan Africa.

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates that having reliable internet allows some businesses to continue operations amid lockdowns which keep economies running.

\"Given the increasing role of the internet for the economy and for accessing public services, policies to foster an inclusive recovery must aim to tackle the digital divide within and between countries,\" wrote Escribano.

华盛顿特区:缺乏普遍的和负担得起的访问互联网可能扩大收入不平等国家内部和国家之间,国际货币基金组织(imf)的高级官员(国际货币基金组织)说,虽然敦促政策制定者培养digital-friendly业务和监管环境。

美国等发达经济体,法国,德国,英国和加拿大访问率最高,奔驰加西亚Escribano说,在国际货币基金组织的财政事务副处长。

然而,大型新兴经济体显示在互联网用户的比例大的差距在他们的人口从三分之二在巴西和墨西哥在印度大约三分之一。

撒哈拉以南非洲国家紧随其后的是许多亚洲新兴经济体和发展中经济体都在最低的进入移动互联网虽然是世界领导人金钱交易。

还有一个大的变化在互联网连接在撒哈拉以南非洲地区的公司,只有大约60%的企业使用电子邮件业务相比,大约85%在欧洲和中亚,Escribano说。

“COVID-19和伟大的封锁引发了大规模移民从模拟到数字,强调社会经济包含访问互联网是至关重要的,”她在一篇博客文章中写道。

高速互联网是在家工作的关键,对于孩子的教育时,他们不能参加学校的人,远程医疗,受益于社会支持项目和使获得金融服务的机会每个人,特别是那些生活在偏远地区。

不过,互联网的使用仍然是一个奢侈品:一半的世界人口没有接入互联网,通过移动设备或固话宽带。

“数字鸿沟——上网的人之间的差距和那些不,更像是两个国家内部和国家之间的分歧,“Escribano写道。

收入不平等和机会不平等可能恶化——即使在发达经济体——因为弱势群体和生活在农村地区的人有更多的有限的互联网接入。

男性和女性之间的差异在他们的劳动力参与,工资,和获得金融服务可能会增加有性别差异在访问互联网。

这可能是在许多新兴和发展中国家拥有手机的女性比男性少,Escribano说。

上网可能会降低生产率相对较低,新兴和发展中国家。增加国际货币基金组织的工作人员研究发现,百分之十一的互联网用户在人口人均增长0.1 - 0.4在撒哈拉以南非洲。

COVID-19大流行表明拥有可靠的网络使一些企业继续保持经济运行操作在封锁。

“考虑到互联网对经济的作用和访问公共服务,促进包容性的政策复苏必须旨在解决国家内部和国家之间的数字鸿沟,“Escribano写道。
