Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In today's Digital Age, technological advancements offer tremendous opportunities for progress and efficiency. However, these benefits are not evenly distributed, leading to a digital divide that excludes large population segments from accessing and benefiting from these technologies. Addressing this issue requires a comprehensive understanding of the factors contributing to inclusiveness and strategies to mitigate the digital divide. This paper presents an analysis conducted within the XGain project to explore perceptions of social inclusion in technology development. It offers insights into how to ensure inclusiveness and reduce the digital divide.
