Women and the elderly are crossing the digital divide, but
the poor still lag behind, says new EU report
(14 February 2005)
Women have overtaken men in the past three years in their pace of Internet take-up, according to a new Commission report. The over 55s are also increasingly gaining computer skills, and this trend is set to continue. However, the poorly educated and poorly paid are not catching up as quickly and this is denying them new opportunities. Education, age and income remain the most important areas in the digital divide, the report says.
