The digital divide

Abstract

Jan Van Dijk's The Digital Divide explores the complex dynamics of the digital divide and its profound implications for contemporary society. Van Dijk reveals how digital exclusion exacerbates socioeconomic disparities, making marginalized communities more vulnerable to cybercrime and hindering their access to economic opportunities and social integration. Van Dijk's work underscores the urgent need for concerted efforts by academia, policymakers and practitioners to address the digital divide and promote a more equitable digital future.
