<em>The research shows that India&rsquo;s mobile phone gender gap - 33 per cent - is among the highest in the world, surpassing several countries with comparable incomes, development levels, and mobile phone costs.<br />
<br />
New Delhi:&nbsp; </em>Apart from economic constraints, social barriers like the level of education, marital status and the lack of empowerment prevent women&rsquo;s access to mobile technology in India, suggests a study by the Harvard Kennedy School.<br />
<br />
The research shows that India&rsquo;s mobile phone gender gap &ndash; 33 per cent &ndash; is among the highest in the world, surpassing several countries with comparable incomes, development levels, and mobile phone costs. The numbers vary: while this study found a 12 per cent gap in mobile access, LirneAsia reports 57 per cent gap in Internet usage.<br />
<br />
The study, by Harvard&rsquo;s Evidence for Policy Design (EpoD), combined quantitative data from two sources: Financial Inclusion Insights (45,540 respondents in 2016) and India Human Development Survey (26,607 ever-married women in households that own a mobile in 33 states in 2012) and combined it with interviews in five states to understand the dynamics for this study.<br />
<br />
The Harvard Kennedy School study is among the first to focus on the reasons behind the gender gap in India.<br />
<br />
While a lack of income, empowerment and education all link to mobile use barriers, the researchers found that education made the largest independent difference: 28 percentage points between no education and a class 11-12 education and 32 percentage points between post-secondary schooling and no education.<br />
<br />
Marital status has little impact on the gap, except when combined with age. For single women, the gap starts at above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 and steadily reduces with age. For married women, the gap of above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 does not change as significantly with age. While the gap in urban areas did not change much with age, the gap in rural areas surged, peaking in the 23 to 30 age group at almost 40 per cent and dipping in the above 40 group to a little over 30 per cent.<br />

<br />
The research shows that India&rsquo;s mobile phone gender gap &ndash; 33 per cent &ndash; is among the highest in the world, surpassing several countries with comparable incomes, development levels, and mobile phone costs. The numbers vary: while this study found a 12 per cent gap in mobile access, LirneAsia reports 57 per cent gap in Internet usage.<br />
<br />
The study, by Harvard&rsquo;s Evidence for Policy Design (EpoD), combined quantitative data from two sources: Financial Inclusion Insights (45,540 respondents in 2016) and India Human Development Survey (26,607 ever-married women in households that own a mobile in 33 states in 2012) and combined it with interviews in five states to understand the dynamics for this study.<br />
<br />
The Harvard Kennedy School study is among the first to focus on the reasons behind the gender gap in India.<br />
<br />
While a lack of income, empowerment and education all link to mobile use barriers, the researchers found that education made the largest independent difference: 28 percentage points between no education and a class 11-12 education and 32 percentage points between post-secondary schooling and no education.<br />
<br />
Marital status has little impact on the gap, except when combined with age. For single women, the gap starts at above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 and steadily reduces with age. For married women, the gap of above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 does not change as significantly with age. While the gap in urban areas did not change much with age, the gap in rural areas surged, peaking in the 23 to 30 age group at almost 40 per cent and dipping in the above 40 group to a little over 30 per cent.<br />

<br />
The research shows that India&rsquo;s mobile phone gender gap &ndash; 33 per cent &ndash; is among the highest in the world, surpassing several countries with comparable incomes, development levels, and mobile phone costs. The numbers vary: while this study found a 12 per cent gap in mobile access, LirneAsia reports 57 per cent gap in Internet usage.<br />
<br />
The study, by Harvard&rsquo;s Evidence for Policy Design (EpoD), combined quantitative data from two sources: Financial Inclusion Insights (45,540 respondents in 2016) and India Human Development Survey (26,607 ever-married women in households that own a mobile in 33 states in 2012) and combined it with interviews in five states to understand the dynamics for this study.<br />
<br />
The Harvard Kennedy School study is among the first to focus on the reasons behind the gender gap in India.<br />
<br />
While a lack of income, empowerment and education all link to mobile use barriers, the researchers found that education made the largest independent difference: 28 percentage points between no education and a class 11-12 education and 32 percentage points between post-secondary schooling and no education.<br />
<br />
Marital status has little impact on the gap, except when combined with age. For single women, the gap starts at above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 and steadily reduces with age. For married women, the gap of above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 does not change as significantly with age. While the gap in urban areas did not change much with age, the gap in rural areas surged, peaking in the 23 to 30 age group at almost 40 per cent and dipping in the above 40 group to a little over 30 per cent.<br />

New Delhi: </em>Apart from economic constraints, social barriers like the level of education, marital status and the lack of empowerment prevent women’s access to mobile technology in India, suggests a study by the Harvard Kennedy School.<br />
<br />
The research shows that India’s mobile phone gender gap – 33 per cent – is among the highest in the world, surpassing several countries with comparable incomes, development levels, and mobile phone costs. The numbers vary: while this study found a 12 per cent gap in mobile access, LirneAsia reports 57 per cent gap in Internet usage.<br />
<br />
The study, by Harvard’s Evidence for Policy Design (EpoD), combined quantitative data from two sources: Financial Inclusion Insights (45,540 respondents in 2016) and India Human Development Survey (26,607 ever-married women in households that own a mobile in 33 states in 2012) and combined it with interviews in five states to understand the dynamics for this study.<br />
<br />
The Harvard Kennedy School study is among the first to focus on the reasons behind the gender gap in India.<br />
<br />
While a lack of income, empowerment and education all link to mobile use barriers, the researchers found that education made the largest independent difference: 28 percentage points between no education and a class 11-12 education and 32 percentage points between post-secondary schooling and no education.<br />
<br />
Marital status has little impact on the gap, except when combined with age. For single women, the gap starts at above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 and steadily reduces with age. For married women, the gap of above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 does not change as significantly with age. While the gap in urban areas did not change much with age, the gap in rural areas surged, peaking in the 23 to 30 age group at almost 40 per cent and dipping in the above 40 group to a little over 30 per cent.<br />

The research shows that India’s mobile phone gender gap – 33 per cent – is among the highest in the world, surpassing several countries with comparable incomes, development levels, and mobile phone costs. The numbers vary: while this study found a 12 per cent gap in mobile access, LirneAsia reports 57 per cent gap in Internet usage.
The study, by Harvard’s Evidence for Policy Design (EpoD), combined quantitative data from two sources: Financial Inclusion Insights (45,540 respondents in 2016) and India Human Development Survey (26,607 ever-married women in households that own a mobile in 33 states in 2012) and combined it with interviews in five states to understand the dynamics for this study.
The Harvard Kennedy School study is among the first to focus on the reasons behind the gender gap in India.
While a lack of income, empowerment and education all link to mobile use barriers, the researchers found that education made the largest independent difference: 28 percentage points between no education and a class 11-12 education and 32 percentage points between post-secondary schooling and no education.
Marital status has little impact on the gap, except when combined with age. For single women, the gap starts at above 30 per cent at ages 15 to 22 and steadily reduces with age.
