Exploring the distribution of mobile data packages among university students - A comparative analysis of gender variances

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of data package distribution based on gender, mobile cellular providers, and universities among university students. Using data from six universities, the study explores the preferences of male and female university students regarding internet access and mobile data providers. The hypothesis suggests potential disparities that favor male students, contributing to the digital gender divide. Addressing these disparities is crucial for fostering equitable business development, as a pronounced digital gender divide can hinder female students' access to information, resources, and networking opportunities, impacting workforce diversity and entrepreneurial potential. This research offers valuable insights for businesses, policymakers, and educational institutions, emphasizing the significance of equitable digital access for sustainable and inclusive growth. The study underscores the urgent need for proactive measures to rectify gender disparities in internet access, shedding light on the importance of equal opportunities in the digital landscape for driving business success and cultivating a diverse and resilient workforce and emphasizes the need to address these imbalances. It stresses the importance of ensuring equal opportunities in the digital realm, promoting business success, and fostering a diverse and resilient workforce. This research contributes to the ongoing discourse on data package distribution patterns among university students based on gender, mobile cellular providers, and universities. It provides valuable insights into the preferences and patterns among male and female students, emphasizing the necessity for proactive measures to bridge the digital gender divide. The findings have significant implications for businesses, policymakers, and educational institutions, offering guidance for promoting equal access to digital resources and creating an inclusive and supportive environment for all students.
