Resumen
Descripción
This paper reviews and integrates findings from existing empirical studies and case studies received from
35 organizations in various countries to identify demand- and supply-side constraints and opportunities in
access, adoption and impact of technological innovations. This review consistently finds that women have
much slower observed rates of adoption of a wide range of technologies than men; and these are mainly
due to differentiated access to complementary inputs and services. There are limited studies that looked at
upstream stages including priority-setting and innovation processes, in which women continue to be
underrepresented.
