This study aims at answering two questions: Do women have the same
determinants of Internet adoption as men? Do they adopt it for the same uses?
The answers are mainly positive. However, in the adoption decision, women are
different from men mainly due to the negative effects of age and unemployment;
these effects being positive for men. Moreover, women have a relatively lesser
intensity of use. Age remains a hindering factor while high computer skills and
high frequency of computer use improves the intensity of Internet use. This
recommends homogeneous policies while especially encouraging young women
to use ICT and not to drop out as they grow in age.
