>---- Gender, Information Technology, and Developing Countries: An Analytic
>Study
>Most women within developing countries are in the deepest part of the
>divide - further removed from the information age than the men whose
>poverty they share. If access to and use of these technologies is directly
>linked to social and economic development, then it is imperative to ensure
>that women in developing countries understand the significance of these
>technologies and use them. If not, they will become further marginalized
>from the mainstream of their countries and of the world. It is essential
>that gender issues be considered early in the process of the introduction
>of information technology in developing countries so that gender concerns
>can be incorporated from the beginning and not as a corrective afterwards.
