The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people according to gender. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
By 2019, 56 percent of male internet users in France used the internet to access online new sites, newspapers, or news magazines. Among women this share was slightly lower and amounted to 52 percent. Since 2013, 11 percent more men and 16 percent more women replied that they used the internet for the purpose of keeping up to date with current news and events.
