Global Gender Gaps

The Pew Research Center has released an interesting study about the differences between men and women around the globe.

One area where there appears to be general agreement is the Internet. Here’s what they say:

Men and women similarly like to surf the web. The only notable opposition to the internet is in Jordan, where more than half the women (54%) think it is a change for the worse, and in the United States, where a quarter (25%) of women criticize it. As with cell phone use, some of the strongest support for these new technologies, especially among men, is in Africa, where there is the least access to both the internet and cell phones.
