Abstract
Recent empirical evidence suggests that the so-called ‘digital divide’ persists in both Europe and North America. The purpose of this (follow-up) study is to establish whether the digital divide persists in Flanders and, if so, to examine its extent and main contours. The results suggest that, although showing signs of diminishing, the digital divide is still very much in place and is still structured along classic socio-demographic lines such as gender, age, level of education, and occupational status.
