Digital Divide

For example, in 2020, UNDP Philippines produced a critical analysis of barriers to entry into the platform economy for women and other marginalised groups in the Philippines. It was discovered that the digital divide was a symptom of a much larger societal inequalities, namely geographically-related disparities, and that layers of inequalities had a negating effect on the quality of digital interventions across the country. The study suggested that digital inclusion would only be possible when addressed along with other issues on the spectrum of socio-economic inequalities.
