Mobile phones are the most important things in today’s world and no work is expected to be done without them.
However, a recent study conducted by Oxfam, shows that only 31 per cent of women in India own mobile phones as compared to over 60 per cent of men.
The India Inequality Report 2022, 'Digital Divide' says that the reach of digital technologies remains largely to men whereas women still use handsets that are less expensive and are only limited to phone calls and messages.
The report also highlights that digital inequality is based on caste, income and education. Moreover, possession of a digital device in a household is decided by the man of the family.
