La disparité entre le nombre d’utilisateurs jeunes et plus âgés de l’internet a légèrement diminué au cours de ces dernières années, mais elle demeure un sujet d’intérêt dans la mesure où le potentiel socioéconomique pour les générations plus âgées découlant de l’utilisation de l’internet n’a pas été étudié. L’utilisation de l’internet peut contribuer à améliorer la qualité de vie et l’interaction sociale sur l’internet atténue la solitude et la dépression. Le développement des aptitudes et des compétences numériques parmi le troisième âge reste un défi. Des obstacles socioéconomiques, techniques et émotionnels entravent ce processus.

Author(s): Sonia Hetzner, Amrei Tenckhoff-Eckhardt and Anna Slyschak. Throughout Europe studies reveal that eInclusion is still a very important topic for the older generations. The discrepancy in Internet usage numbers between younger and older generations slightly decreased in the past years, but it stills a topic of concern since the socio-economic potentials of Internet usage for the older generations are not being explored.
Internet usage can contribute to a higher quality of life; social interaction on the Internet reduces loneliness and depression. eSkills and eCompetences development amongst third agers is still challenging. Socio-economics, technical and emotional obstacles hinder the process. In this paper the key results of a comparison pilot study is presented.

Across Europe, there is a growing gap between the demands for digital transformation on the one hand and the skills, know-how and capability of the work force on the other. About 90% of Europeans use a mobile phone or a smart phone, and more than one third of them use their device to access the Internet.
