Abstract

Two decades have passed since seminal work on the dimensions of digital inequality (DI) appeared and since that time digital inequalities have grown and taken on different forms. However, research on conceptualizing and measuring DI has not progressed significantly. There is a lack of robust theories to tackle the growing societal problem of DI, which is closely linked to a complex set of individual and institutional factors. Following a five-stage scoping review process this paper maps the current landscape of DI, in addition to identifying key factors influencing DI. This work can serve as a base for a conceptual framework for further DI research. The framework can be validated empirically and used to investigate the DI phenomenon in various contexts.
