| Title | Faces of the Digital Divide |
| Summary | Digital skills have become increasingly essential for both personal and professional life. However, a significant portion of Europeans lack these basic digital skills therefore there is a digital divide in Europe. This thesis investigates to what extent the digital divide correlates with the traditional inequality determinants within Europe. Based on the academic literature the main focus is on the correlation between income and digital literacy, but the paper also examines how the level of education, age, gender, geographical location, and feeling discriminated correlates with digital skills. The study investigates the variability of these relationships between different European countries and aims to understand the similarities and differences between them. These findings highlight the complex nature of the digital divide in Europe, shaped by both national contexts and socio-economic characteristics. These findings collectively highlight the multifaceted nature of the digital divide in Europe, influenced by both national contexts and socio-economic characteristics. |
