Inclusione digitale per fasce d'età a che punto siamo in Italia nel 2020 - Rossi & Morelli

Italian digital inclusion by age group, in 2020

Information technologies are constantly evolving, providing new features and new platforms that improve the citizens lives. The digital divide prevents equal participation and reduces the opportunities for citizens who are excluded from it.

Digital inclusion is a principle of equity, which all developed European nations consider as a target for assessing the quality of life of citizens. A fundamental principle because it contributes to civic and cultural participation, growth in employment and the access to essential services.

This report, scripted from the Eurostat data source, analyzes the level of digital inclusion of Italian citizens divided by age groups and also by education level.

The spread across the use and access to communication and information technologies (ICT) and the development of digitization projects by the Italian population is an indicator of fundamental importance in the process of enhancing social and cultural inclusion for Italy.
