abstract: 'There is a vast literature that examines the determinants of the gender
digital gap in developing countries, and puts forth policy
recommendations to mitigate it. However, few studies examine how gender
differences in labor force participation and employment patterns affect
ICT adoption in general, or Internet use in particular. This matters
because employment and the types of jobs that men and women do correlate
with different opportunities to access the Internet and develop digital
skills, both of which contribute to overall Internet engagement. This
study contributes to fill this gap by exploring how gender differences
in employment affect the digital gender gap in four Latin American
countries. The findings point to differences in employment patterns
between men and women as the largest single contributor to the gender
gap in Internet use in these countries, ahead of differences in other
predictors of Internet use such as income, age and education. Further,
our results suggest that the correlation between employment and Internet
use is stronger among women than men, which we attribute to the fact
that women tend to work in more ICT-intensive sectors (e.g., health
services and education). Estimates from a decomposition analysis suggest
that if women were employed at the same rate as men the gender digital
gap in these countries would be reduced by at least a quarter.'
