Resumen
Descripción
Excitement about new information and communication technologies (ICTs) is tempered by
long-standing problems of gender inequality in development processes. In most developing
countries, women make up the majority of the population working in agriculture, but they
are marginalized with respect to access to ICTs for economic and social empowerment.
Moreover, two-thirds of the world’s 876 million illiterates are women, most of whom live in
rural areas of developing countries.
