Between Class and Status? Examining the Digital Divide in Finland, UK, and Greece
Taru Lindblom and Pekka Räsänen
This article examines the digital divide in terms of access and the cultural use purposes of the Internet in Finland, UK, and Greece. The analysis is based on data from Finnish, British, and Greek sections of Eurobarometer collected in 2013 (N=3,009). Separate measures for class and status are applied in the analysis. The findings indicate that both access to and use of the Internet for cultural purposes are affected by a number of interdependent factors, whose effects and strengths vary significantly among the countries.
