Digital Inclusion in Ireland: Connectivity, Devices & Skills (154)
Economic, social and cultural systems worldwide are becoming increasingly digitalised as we move into the 21st century.
This has opened up many new opportunities and challenges in how we live, work and relate to one another—changes
which have been accelerated by the Covid-19 lockdowns. More people and businesses need to be proficient in accessing
the digital world in order to adapt to and benefit from this transition. However, a number of groups are poorly engaged
with ICT, in particular those who are older, have lower levels of education, lower incomes, and live in rural areas. In
addition, the extent to which all of those online are fully engaging with the digital world varies. This is a cost for our
economy, society, government and individuals. The World Economic Forum identifies the digital divide as a critical
threat. This report therefore focuses on how Irish policy can improve digital inclusion.
