Digital Inclusion Among Community Older Adults in Singapore: Measuring Digital Skills and Health Consequences
Today’s changing context of healthy aging includes continued advancement in digital technologies. Through a community survey of 364 older adults in Singapore, we assessed five types of digital skills: “operational internet skills,” “information navigation skills,” “social skills,” “creative skills,” and “mobile skills,” applying the LSE digital skill measurement instrument. We identified how distinct types of digital skills contributed to interne…
Digital Inclusion among Community Older Adults in the Republic of Korea: Measuring Digital Skills and Health Consequences
Many older adults are increasingly embracing digital technology in the Republic of Korea. This study investigated the relationship between the digital skills of Korean older adults and their perceived health status and digital technology application for health promotion. This mixed-method study comprised a community survey of 434 older adults aged ≥65 in two cities in South Korea, followed by focus group interviews. Five types of digital skills, …
A Systematic Literature Review of Organizational Factors Influencing 21st-Century Skills
Skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, communication, problem solving, collaboration, operational skills, and information management, have become increasingly important for 21st-century employees. These skills are often referred to as 21st-century skills and influence how employees handle novel situations. They are indispensable in an economy where the knowledge and skills of employees are seen as a measure for economic potential. This sy…
Determinants of 21st-Century Skills and 21st-Century Digital Skills for Workers: A Systematic Literature Review
This study brings attention to the determinants of 21st-century skills and 21st-century digital skills. The following skills are investigated: technical, information, communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. To understand differences in the level of these skills among workers, we need to know the factors that determine an individual’s skill level. A systematic literature review was conducted to prov…
Measuring the levels of 21st-century digital skills among professionals working within the creative industries: A performance-based approach
Twenty-first century digital skills for the creative industries workforce: Perspectives from industry experts
The creative industries workforce requires employees that use ICT applications to solve the knowledge related tasks at work. The aim of this research is twofold: (1) to see if previously cited twenty-first century digital skills are suited to the creative industries workforce and (2) to investigate the extent to which skill development get attention in current organizational practices. In-depth interviews were conducted with a sample of 24 manage…
Negative outcomes of Internet use: A qualitative analysis in the homes of families with different educational backgrounds
This study employs a qualitative approach to examine whether and why some societal groups are disadvantaged more by their Internet use than others do. Due to the quantitative nature of most digital divide studies, thorough explanations for why different outcomes exist are lacking. Interviews were conducted with 48 Dutch families selected on the basis of educational level (high or low) and household characteristics (children and marital status). A…
The relation between 21st-century skills and digital skills: A systematic literature review
Digital Divide: Impact of Access
Access to digital media is defined as the full process of appropriation of technology by users. It starts with motivation and attitudes and moves on to the process of finding physical access. Then, having learned sufficient digital skills, users will realize a particular frequency and diversity of usage of digital media. In all these phases significant divides are observed. After the year 2000 the importance of digital divides shifted from physic…
Why Would I Use This in My Home? A Model of Domestic Social Robot Acceptance
Many independent studies in social robotics and human–robot interaction have gained knowledge on various factors that affect people’s perceptions of and behaviors toward robots. However, only a few of those studies aimed to develop models of social robot acceptance integrating a wider range of such factors. With the rise of robotic technologies for everyday environments, such comprehensive research on relevant acceptance factors is increasingly n…
Increasing inequalities in what we do online: A longitudinal cross sectional analysis of Internet activities among the Dutch population (2010 to 2013) over gender, age, education, and income
Internet skill levels increase, but gaps widen: A longitudinal cross-sectional analysis (2010–2013) among the Dutch population
In the current contribution, we investigated how (1) the levels of operational, formal, information, and strategic internet skills changed between 2010 and 2013, and how (2) the observed skill patterns differ across gender, age, and education. All internet skills are measured among representative samples of the Dutch population in 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Cross-sectional data are repeated to consider patterns of change at the aggregate level. …
Toward a Multifaceted Model of Internet Access for Understanding Digital Divides: An Empirical Investigation
In this investigation, a multifaceted model of Internet appropriation that encompasses four types of access—motivational, material, skills, and usage—is tested with a representative sample of the Dutch population. The analysis indicates that while the digital divide policies' focus has moved to skills and usage access, motivational and material access remain relevant since they are necessary through the entire process of Internet appropriation. M…
Internet Skills, Sources of Support, and Benefiting From Internet Use
This study added communication Internet skills to an existing skill framework of operational, formal, information, and strategic skills. The study investigated how people deal with inadequate skill levels by identifying support sources. Furthermore, we investigated which of the Internet skills actually matter for attaining beneficial Internet outcomes and whether support sources employed moderate these effects. Results of a large-scale survey rev…

Explaining the acceptance and use of government Internet services: A multivariate analysis of 2006 survey data in the Netherlands
Digital divide research, achievements and shortcomings
Communication Networks and Modernization
The last three decades have witnessed an acceleration in the use, demand, and need of telecommunications, data communication, and mass communication transmitted and, increasingly, integrated into networks. This acceleration can be explained by a synthesis of the modernization theories of Giddens (the concept of time-space distantiation) and Beniger (the problems of control in a complex society). A central theme is the unity of scale extension and…
