Deep dives
The Digital Divide and Inclusion
Access, affordability, and skills are key factors in digital inclusion. While more people are coming online, those without digital skills are being left behind, limiting their participation in society. Vulnerable groups such as the elderly, indigenous communities, and migrants/refugees face the greatest risks of being excluded. Efforts are being made to improve access and create a more inclusive digital environment, but challenges remain, particularly in regional areas and among low-income individuals.
