Use of mobile phones by the rural poor, Gender perspectives from selected Asian countries
Abstract
This document presents a study on use of mobile phones by the rural poor, Gender perspectives from selected Asian countries. This qualitative study was conducted in Indonesia and Sri Lanka to understand the varied perceptions on the use and ownership of mobile phones. Given the large rural population in developing Asia, a nuanced understanding of mobile phone use and access that could articulate gender as well as locational (urban versus rural) differences, could sharpen the design of policy targeting the digital gender divide. This is particularly important given the importance of women in rural livelihoods.
