Unequal Access: Gender and Technology in the Digital Age

This exam investigates the theme of unequal access to technology in the context of gender, focusing on the barriers that prevent equitable participation in the digital age. It scrutinizes both structural and cultural factors that perpetuate inequality.

Addressing issues of access is imperative for fostering gender equity in technology and ensuring broad participation in the digital economy. This topic is increasingly relevant in light of global digital divides and disparities in technological literacy among gender groups.

Candidates will be tested on their ability to articulate the complexities surrounding unequal access to technology, including its socioeconomic implications. The examination will require students to engage critically with both theoretical and empirical content.

Preparation should include an analysis of various technological access initiatives and their impact on gender equity, as well as discussions surrounding policy recommendations aimed at addressing these disparities.
