Digital Exclusion

The condition in which individuals or groups are unable to access, use, or benefit from digital technologies due to barriers related to disability, socioeconomic status, age, geography, or digital literacy. For people with disabilities, digital exclusion often results from inaccessible interfaces, lack of assistive technology support, and digital systems designed without consideration of diverse abilities. In workplace contexts, digital exclusion can prevent people with disabilities from accessing employment opportunities, training, and career advancement that increasingly depend on digital skills and tools.
