mWomen — a study on the mobile phone gender gap in developing nations

The GSMA Development Fund formed the mWomen programme after identifying a sizeable gender gap in mobile phone ownership in middle and lower income countries. Our research found that mobile operators and the development community were interested in closing the gender gap to generate both new commercial opportunity and social development.

The GSMA Development Fund has partnered with the Cherie Blair Foundation for Women to produce a study on the mobile phone gender gap in low to middle income countries, our report is called “Women & Mobile : A Global Opportunity”, written by Vital Wave Consulting.
