目标。这篇文章研究了男性和女性在使用互联网方面是否存在差异，以及近年来这种性别差距是否发生了变化。方法。我们使用了1997-2001年期间的几次调查数据来显示互联网使用的趋势，并估计了控制个人社会经济特征的互联网使用的回归模型。结果。在20世纪90年代中期，女性使用互联网的可能性明显低于男性，但到2000年，这种上网的性别差距消失了。然而，一旦上网，女性使用互联网的频率和强度仍然较低。结论。现在没有理由担心互联网接入和使用中的性别不平等，但互联网使用频率和强度的性别差异仍然存在。
Objective. This article examines whether there are differences in men's and women's use of the Internet and whether any such gender gaps have changed in recent years. Methods. We use data from several surveys during the period 1997-2001 to show trends in Internet usage and to estimate regression models of Internet usage that control for individuals' socioeconomic characteristics. Results. Women were significantly less likely than men to use the Internet at all in the mid-1990s, but this gender gap in being online disappeared by 2000. However, once online, women remain less frequent and less intense users of the Internet. Conclusions. There is little reason for concern about sex inequalities in Internet access and usage now, but gender differences in frequency and intensity of Internet usage remain.
