| Women Are 2x Less Likely to Own a Cellphone Than Men in Pak |
|
UN's International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has directed a broad study named Measuring the Information Society Report. The report revealed that the rate of male versatile clients are more noteworthy than the ladies in many nations including Pakistan.
The report for the most part delineates a troubling pattern, with numerous ladies not having admittance to cellphones. It focuses to the way of life of male-strength and persecution of ladies in the nation.
Basically, passing by the numbers in the report arranged by a United Nations office, it expresses that men in Pakistan are twice as liable to possess a PDA contrasted with ladies.
In any case, the distinction is minor (under four rate focuses). In Pakistan—nearby other Asian nations, for example, India and Bangladesh—the distinction is fairly striking.
Age gatherings are isolated into sections and every section is studied independently. As the report states,"the rates of female/male cell phone clients/proprietors are figured as an extent of aggregate female/male populace in every age amass."
The information highlights that Pakistan, in 2015, had the most noteworthy sexual orientation hole with regards to cellphone clients with 17 percent. The aggregate number of male rate is 84 percent contrasted with 64 percent of female clients.
In Bangladesh and India also, men are twice as prone to claim a cellphone contrasted with ladies with a rate of 71 percent to 82 percent and 79 percent to 90 percent, separately.
Why Do People Not Own Cellphones?
Level of Education: People with weak background tend not to own a cellphone due to limited understanding of English language.
Urban/Rural Areas: People living in rural areas tend to oppress women as it is and by not allowing them to own a cellphone is one form of it.
Affordability: Pakistan is a third world country, where basic necessities are not being provided to the lower strata of the society. Owning a cellphone is not a perk many can afford.
Lack of Perceived Benefits: Many people do not feel the need to own a cellphone, especially housewives who tend to stay at home for the most part of their days.
Poor Network Quality: Although the quality of services have improved across Pakistan but there are still issues in rural areas which is why people do not own a phone.
Theft: In main cities like Karachi, where theft and snatching of goods is a common norm, people avoid keeping expensive things on them – which includes smartphones.
