Abstract

Using data from the 2001 Computer and Internet Use Survey by the National Statistical Office, this study investigated digital divide among women aged between 20 and 55. Following were the major findings. first, two-thirds of women did not use Internet even though many of these had Internet access at home. Second, those who did not have Internet access at home, those with a lower level of educational attainment, those with blue color or service occupations, and those with higher age were less likely to use Internet than their counterparts in these socio-economic variables. Third, expanding Internet infrastructure would not improve Internet use of the Elderly. Forth, the majority of those who did not use Internet did not recognize the Internet itself. Based on the result the policy implications for digital divide were suggested.
