Women are coming online later and at a slower rate than men around the world, according to a new report released today by the Broadband Commission Working Group on broadband and gender.
Of the world's 2.8 billion Internet users, 1.3 billion are women, compared with 1.5 billion men, and
this gap between male and female users widens rapidly in the developing world.
This gap is relatively small in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) nations. However, globally this gap will grow over the next three years if governments of nations don't take steps to correct this issue.
