A survey conducted in India in 2021 found that some of the most important barriers for the survey respondents to use mobile internet are the affordability of mobile phone, and reading or writing difficulties. The lack of knowledge of how to access internet on a mobile device is also a very important obstacle for mobile internet access. The gender gap within categories of affordability of mobile device, and internet literacy is due to women’s lack of financial autonomy and resources, and lower literacy rate.
