criticize the work of others, it
doesn’t mean that all
internet users have the
knowledge and skills as what
you expect them to have. 10

Gender Divide Social Divide Universal Access

Divide
3 types of digital divide
Gender Divide
The internet gender gap is striking especially
in developing countries. Though mobile
connectivity is spreading drastically, it is not
spreading equally.

Women are still lagging.

Men in low-income countries are 90% more
likely to own a mobile phone than women.

This translates to 184 million women who lack

access to mobile connectivity. Even among
women owning mobile phones, 1.2 billion
women in low and mid-income countries have
no access to the internet.
3 types of digital divide
Social Divide
Internet access creates relationships and
social circles among people with shared
interests. Social media platforms like
Twitter and Facebook create online peer
groups based on similar interests.

More than ever internet usage has

influenced social stratification which is
evident in societies among those that are
connected to the internet and those that are
not. Non-connected groups are sidelined
since they don’t share in the internet
benefits of the connected groups.
3 types of digital divide
Universal access Divide
Individuals living with physical
disabilities are often disadvantaged
when it comes to accessing the internet.
They may have the necessary skills but
cannot exploit the available hardware
and software.

Some parts of the world will remain

segregated from the internet and its vast
potential due to lack of digital literacy
skills, low education levels, and
inadequate broadband infrastructure.
