Summary / Abstract:

ENThe aim of this study is to research digital divide through various lenses in Lithuanian society over the past two decades. The objectives also involve digital competence and its measurement among various social groups including such parameters as age, gender, region, etc. The digital literacy component in the educational context is within the focus of this study as well. To achieve the aim of the study, the analysis relies on peer-reviewed scientific literature sources published in foreign and Lithuanian scientific journals. The results of the systematic literature analysis reveal that the absence of infrastructure or the Internet, lack of digital skills and lack of understanding of the benefits are still the main reasons for digital divide, mostly affecting seniors, residents of rural areas, the homeless and the disabled.
