Gender Gap Alive And Well Online

The wide-ranging report from Pew dissected how men and women used the net and uncovered some striking differences. One finding suggests that the number of women online already outnumbers that of men. Figures gathered by Pew suggest that 68% of men are net users, compared to 66% of women. However, the total number of net-using women is higher because there are more women than men in the general US population. In some sections of the population online, this divide is more pronounced. For instance 60% of black women are net users compared to 50% of black men. Story from BBC NEWS: http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/pr/fr/-/1/hi/technology/4555370.stm Published: 2005/12/29 07:56:00 GMT
