abstract: 'Purpose - This study examines the problem of unequal access to the
|
||||
|
||||
Caribbean ICT industry on the part of women, and considers causes,
|
||||
|
||||
consequences and possible solutions. The latter includes integrating
|
||||
|
||||
gender perspectives in ICT policies and programmes to increase access
|
||||
|
||||
for all to education and employment opportunities for national
|
||||
|
||||
development.
|
||||
|
||||
Methodology/approach - Mixed Methods research techniques (questionnaire
|
||||
|
||||
surveys, elite interviews and focus group discussions) were used to
|
||||
|
||||
collect data from national stakeholders in Jamaica and St Lucia.
|
||||
|
||||
Findings - Despite policy commitments to gender equality and the
|
||||
|
||||
deployment of ICTs to promote development, significant gaps persist
|
||||
|
||||
between policy and practice. Results show that disadvantages in ICT
|
||||
|
||||
access for women result in gender differences in sector involvement.
|
||||
|
||||
Gender socialisation and the resulting discrimination in education and
|
||||
|
||||
employment undermine commitments to inclusive development. Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
include untapped opportunities for innovation, efficiency and business
|
||||
|
||||
along the ICT value chain relating to development.
|
||||
|
||||
Research limitations - Case studies only represent Anglophone Caribbean
|
||||
|
||||
and may not reflect all subregional contexts.
|
||||
|
||||
Practical implications - The paper demonstrates the value of collecting,
|
||||
|
||||
analysing and using data disaggregated by sex to identify needs of
|
||||
|
||||
vulnerable groups relating to inclusive development.
|
||||
|
||||
Social implications - Equitable access to ICTs for women through
|
||||
|
||||
training, community Internet-access-points, and support to
|
||||
|
||||
establish/expand Micro Small and Medium-sized Enterprises will enable
|
||||
|
||||
women to combine paid and unpaid family caregiving work and to
|
||||
|
||||
participate in the ICT value chain.
|
||||
|
||||
Originality/value - There is a dearth of gender-based analysis of ICT
|
||||
|
||||
policymaking in the Caribbean. The paper contributes theoretical,
|
||||
|
||||
methodological and policy analysis geared towards understanding and
|
||||
|
||||
promoting inclusive access and gender equality in ICTs for sustainable
|
||||
|
||||
development in the Caribbean.'
