“…Since ICILS merely considers pupils in secondary schools (8th grade), these differing results might be related to the distinct groups of participants. This supports an overall finding regarding the digital gender divide, which became evident in numerous studies around the world (Alozie and Akpan-Obong, 2017; Kuroda, 2019;Larsson and Viitaoja, 2019;Marzano and Lubkina, 2019;Mathrani et al, 2020;Suresh, 2016). Hilbert (2011) describes in his literature review that researchers, especially in the 1990s, had the explanatory model that women were "latecomers" in the media world, whereby technology was connoted as male-dominated.…”

The second-level digital divide concerns individual levels of digital competences and demographic indicators of digital gaps. In this paper, we have analysed empirical data that allow a thorough and differentiated look into the second-level digital divide with a rigorous methodological quantitative approach. We investigated the relationship between results from a self-assessment of one’s own digital competences, and a knowledge test about digital tools among Austrian citizens (N=1109). The study explores second-level digital divides in gender, education level, age, first language, and length of time living in the country regarding respective competence levels and areas, referring to the Digital Competence Model for Austria - DigComp 2.2 AT. Results show that the digital gender divide is paramount across all competence areas, while the age divide remains strong when comparing under 18-year-olds with over 60-year-olds. Moreover, positive effects are related to education level and first language.

“…There is an evidence of the access divide (first level) in UK which impacts education during this period [34]. Moreover, studies also discovered how COVID-19 led to the emergence of gender-based divides in developing countries, such as India and Pakistan [35]. Then, an interesting question is if and how response policies to COVID-19 have impacted the second-level digital divide we have been observing in our study.…”

The widespread availability of inexpensive mobile broadband has democratized access to digital services in developed countries. While this has supposedly closed digital divides among the population, more subtle inequalities may still be present that are not driven by the accessibility to mobile services, rather by the heterogeneous capability of individuals to take advantage from those services. This paper focuses on the existence of imbalances in the consumption of mobile services across France using mobile traffic measurement data. We unveil that per-capita mobile traffic demands follow in fact a power law of the local population size, or, equivalently, there exists an emergent behavior that prompts subscribers living in larger urban areas to exhibit higher individual usage of mobile services. The result holds for global traffic, but is consistent across various mobile services, although with varying intensity. Our findings reveal the presence of potential second-level digital divides in developed countries and, surprisingly, show that such divides have steadily increased in France between 2014 and 2019. Moreover, we show how the phenomenon defies explanation by potential confounding factors like broad-band coverage, socioeconomic status, commuting, or inhabitant’s age, but has been indirectly mitigated by the recent containment measures enacted to combat COVID-19.

“…However, challenges such as communication and engagement persist [20]. The shift to online education has also revealed digital gender divide issues, particularly in developing countries like India, where girls from lowincome families face challenges in accessing digital devices and learning opportunities [21]. Despite the challenges, online education has the potential to enhance diversity and equity among students, and to provide a balance between face-to-face and digital education, possibly in the form of blended learning [22].…”
