Abstract:Existe una amplia literatura que examina los determinantes de la brecha digital de género en los países en desarrollo y presenta recomendaciones de políticas para mitigarla. Sin embargo, pocos trabajos han estudiado cómo las diferencias de género en patrones de empleo afectan la adopción de TIC en general, y el uso de Internet en particular. Esto es importante porque la participación en la fuerza laboral y los tipos de trabajos que realizan hombres y mujeres a menudo se correlacionan con diferentes oportunidad… Show more
“…Here, we see the recurring issue of the lack of direct connection between telecommunications investment and economic and human development (Galperin and Viecens, 2016: 38). This is something that Indonesia has sought to address over decades with its various nation-building ICT infrastructure policies, and more recently with its extensive efforts to instill digital transformations at the various levels of governance and administration, down to the village level.…”

“…In our analysis, we focus on four things as common points of comparison across our two country case studies: the specific characteristics of the country and its environment for 5G; key features of markets and consumption; policy and infrastructure choices; and, critical factors for success or failure. In the penultimate and concluding sections of the paper, we offer reflections for global media policy, as well as national policy and regulation, responding to Bauer and Bohlin's (2022: 2) cautionary note that “prevailing approaches can result in the retention of inappropriate policies,” as well as the lack of direct connection between telecommunications investment and development (Galperin and Viecens, 2016: 38). We also bear in mind the query raised in research, of “why embrace 5G at all?” (Forge and Vu, 2020).…”
Some decades on after the MacBride Many Voices, One World report (1980) and the Maitland Missing Link report (1985), global telecommunications have only gained in importance, yet are still fissured by global inequalities. This situation is evident in one of the major developments underway in recent years: 5G mobile technologies. 5G is highly significant for present and future communication—and well advanced in its deployment and adoption. However, the dominant ways in which 5G has been imagined, planned, and deployed have been significantly shaped by interests and geopolitical forces that exclude many countries, and many of the putative beneficiaries of the emergent technology. To shed light on this impasse, in this paper, we offer a comparative analysis of policy and technology realities in two distinct countries that have been relatively overlooked in 5G: Peru and Indonesia. What we find is that national policies are premised on a shared interest and shared benefits, however, at this crucial point in deployment the outcomes are remote for the majority of citizens, especially in ways that matter for daily lives. In both these countries, 5G provides benefits for the small groups who can access and afford it, with others groups in position to be able to come online in the near future—as it provides opportunities for investments, fees, and penalties. However, for large segments of the populations, 5G, the prospects of connectivity, and the emerging digital economy are a long way off.

“…El Gráfico N° 6 muestra una variación porcentual importante a favor de las mujeres en el uso de TIC antes y durante la pandemia, ya que entre los dos momentos (antes y durante) hubo un aumento de 4,2 pp en el uso que hicieron los varones y un aumento de 6 pp entre las mujeres. Esta situación también reafirma los hallazgos de la EIL 2017, en cuanto a la feminización del trabajo con TIC y es quizá también explicable por el hecho de que en los empleos teletrabajables (que crecieron durante la pandemia) las mujeres están sobrerrepresentadas, ya que laboran en sectores que habilitan esta posibilidad ocupacional tales como: educación, administración pública y otros sectores intensivos en TIC (Galperin y Arcidiácono, 2020).…”

<p>Este artículo persigue el objetivo de comprender la relación entre las TIC (Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) y el mundo laboral antes y durante la pandemia del covid-19 (2019-2021). En particular, se analizan las transformaciones que la crisis pandémica trajo consigo en el acceso, uso y apropiación de las TIC para trabajar en Argentina. De este modo, se busca comprender los efectos diferenciales de la incorporación de las tecnologías digitales en el ámbito laboral.</p><p>Para ello, se desarrolló una investigación cuantitativa, en la que se realizaron análisis de documentos y análisis estadísticos de distintas fuentes de información. </p>En cuanto a los hallazgos, sostenemos que se produjo una profundización de las desigualdades digitales laborales preexistentes, evidenciadas por los distintos niveles de acceso, uso y apropiación de TIC según las regiones, los NSE, los géneros y las edades. Las heterogeneidades del mercado laboral y, en particular, la evolución de la modalidad del teletrabajo permitieron visibilizar el efecto desigualador que tuvo la pandemia al interior de la estructura socioocupacional argentina.
Actualmente la tecnología es sumamente valorada por la innovación y cambios que propicia, pero a medida que avanza en términos de disponibilidad, conectividad e infraestructura, resulta contradictoria por las desigualdades que presenta. De ahí surge la brecha digital, como la diferencia de acceso y uso entre la población que cuenta o no con Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC). Si bien, el uso de la tecnología puede ser un recurso valioso en la difusión e incidencia de otras problemáticas sociales como la seguridad alimentaria, estas brechas impiden su aplicación de manera importante. Este trabajo es un estudio de investigación aplicada, no experimental, de tipo cuantitativo, alcance descriptivo y diseño transversal que tiene como objetivo exponer la brecha digital generacional, de género y por ocupación que permita presentar estrategias de acción social que fomenten la cultura alimentaria de la Región Biocultural del Puuc en Yucatán. Los hallazgos confirman que la brecha digital existe en dimensiones del entorno de manera simultánea, determinantes al momento de posibilitar una participación con el uso de herramientas digitales para obtener información y comunicarse, resultados se discuten a la luz del Plan Estatal de Desarrollo de Yucatán 2018-2024 con enfoque en la Agenda 2030.
