ICT's and Gender - Working Party on the Information Economy
This document provides an overview of the gender distribution
of ICT and ICT-related employment in OECD countries, and ICT employment
patterns are contrasted with overall employment to highlight how different ICT
employment patterns are. The document then focuses on participation in
ICT-related education and training, and differences in ICT access and use by
gender. This analysis will be expanded and deepened, particularly on
broadband-related issues and impacts, which are not covered here, if extra
resources become available in 2007-2008.
This report was presented to the Working Party on the Information Economy
(WPIE) at its meeting in December 2006, as part of its work on ICT skills and
employment. It was recommended to be made public by the Committee for
Information, Computer and Communications Policy in March 2007.
The report chapters include:
Employment patterns by gender
Overall employment
Managerial and professional occupations
ICT related occupations
Education and training
Access to ICTs by gender
