Context of the conference:

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) have become part of people’s daily life and nowadays affect (directly or indirectly) nearly all spheres of people’s life, therefore in the research papers show (S.Molnar 2003) that a digital exclusion closely mirrors the structures and dynamics of social exclusion.

Significant inequalities in internet access and broadband internet connection in the EU27 and the UK have huge impact on digital literacy in society. A 2008 report by Oxford Internet Institute observed the phenomenon of ‘dual exclusion’ – the ways in which structural inequalities like social class combined with ICT-based inequalities reinforce the process of deprivation, such as; low income, unemployment, poor education, ill health and social isolation.

A study on digital participation and social exclusion in Scotland highlighted a significant correlation between digital exclusion and a wide range of factors associated with social exclusion, including low levels of social participation; poverty and mental health issues (White, 2016).
