COMMON BARRIERS IN THE DIGITALISED WORLD
8
Access e.g. lack of internet-
connected devices
Skills e.g. lack of know-how
Motivation and
Confidencee.g. perception of
irrelevance, fear
Languagee.g. most apps are in
English
International research studies and developments in some countries, as well as our engagements with
different stakeholders point to a few common barriers to the meaningful participation of individuals in the
digitalised world; the Digital Readiness recommendations are aimed at mitigating some of these challenges.
