Genus och informationsteknik: En litteraturgenomgång [Gender and Information Technology - A Literature Review]

Abstract

This literature review shows that there is still a gender gap in computer use and computer attitude. Boys and men use computers more frequently and for more purposes than girls and women do. They also show a more positive attitude and are more self-confident than girls/women. These differences have raised questions concerning men's dominance and power in computer-related use and work, and discussions of a step backwards in gender equality.
