QUESTION TWO: (25Marks)

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) reports that more than 50% of the world’s women
are offline thus not using any form of modern data storage techniques to aid them in their businesses.
This is more pronounced in developing countries like Uganda, where the internet penetration rate for
adult women is 41%, compared to 53% for men. With this limited penetration of the internet, few
women can use online database systems to store their data. The Global System for Mobile
Communications Association (GSMA) found that 393 million adult women in developing countries do
not own mobile phones, and globally, women are 8% less likely to own a mobile phone than men. This
therefore means that a few women use database management systems to store their data. The gender
gap in mobile ownership in sub-Saharan Africa is 13%. Women are more likely than men to borrow or
share mobile phones (often within a household or from a male family member) and are rarely the
primary owners of a mobile device. GSMA further reports that women are more likely to have simpler
feature phones that do not support mobile internet use, and women are 20% less likely than men to own
a smartphone.
This therefore calls for skilling of women in data management to enhance their understanding of
business management techniques.
As a person who has studied database management systems,
i. Explain to the women with an illustration the layered architecture and the concept of
data mapping used during database design(13 marks)

 ii. Almost all women in Uganda engaging in business use a file based form of storing data,
convince these women why they need to move from such a form of storing data to the
relational type. (12 marks)
