Investing in digitalization of public services (e.g. #NextGenEu) is important, but there is evidence that digital inequalities change rather than disappear #digitaldivide #digitalinequalities #e-governement direct.mit.edu/euso/article...

Digital citizens or digital ou...
Digital citizens or digital outcasts? On the evolving relation between social stratification and utilization of e-administration

Abstract. This study examines how digital inequalities evolve over time by analysing the diffusion of e-administration services in Spain between 2017 and 2023. Bridging technological innovation diffusion frameworks and social stratification approaches, we conceptualise the digital divide as a dynamic process in which the social bases of exclusion shift rather than simply diminish. Using nationally representative data from the ICT Household Survey, we apply pooled Heckman selection models with year interactions, Kitagawa-Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, and distributional inequality measures to trace changes in digital engagement across education, income, and activity status. Rather than a monotonic decline, results reveal a cycle: inequality in predicted e-administration engagement widened during the pre-COVID period before compressing sharply from 2021 onward, in correspondence with pandemic-driven forced digitalisation and concurrent public investment in digital infrastructure. This convergence is driven by structural effects rather than compositional change and is particularly pronounced in the collapse of educational and income gradients. Overall, our findings suggest that investment in digital public infrastructure can reduce socially stratified patterns of e-administration usage. Yet equalisation remains incomplete: rather than eliminating digital inequalities, diffusion appears to reconfigure them, shifting the axis of exclusion from between-group categorical divides to within-group heterogeneity concentrated at the very bottom of the distribution.

If we move down to "who benefits from the #EUbudget and #NextGenEU ", that's when it might get interesting for people like us: in addition to #borderless travel, #roaming , roads, innovation,... etc, if we focus on direct beneficiaries, that's #grants , #education & #research #loans , #subsidies for safe food production and #financialsupport for #art and #artists . ⬇️ (this continues)

The EU’s 2021-2027 long-term budget and NextGenerationEU - Publications Office of the EU

In 2020, the EU provided an unprecedented response to the coronavirus crisis that hit Europe and the world. At its heart is a stimulus package worth EUR 2.018 trillion in current prices (EUR 1.8 trillion in 2018 prices). It consists of the EU’s long-term budget for 2021 to 2027 of EUR 1.211 trillion (EUR 1.074 trillion in 2018 prices), topped up by EUR 806.9 billion (EUR 750 billion in 2018 prices) through NextGenerationEU, a temporary instrument to power the recovery. The EU sets the limits of its spending in the multiannual financial framework , the EU’s long-term budget for the next 7 years. In this way, the EU secures the resources for its political priorities, like digitalisation and green deal. The budget also ensures room for flexibility, thus enabling the EU to respond to unforeseen circumstances. The 2021–2027 long-term budget, or the multiannual financial framework (MFF) of EUR 1.211 trillion, will seek to support the recovery while investing in the EU’s regions, farmers, companies, researchers, students, citizens in general as well as our neighbouring countries.

RT by @EUKommWien: I met Prime Minister @RobertFicoSVK in Paris today.

We discussed the need for affordable energy prices for Europeans while maintaining secure supplies for Slovakia and the EU. Our energy independence is at stake.

This will also be a central topic at our upcoming EUCO Summit.

We also discussed the rollout of #NextGenEU and steps needed, including in the justice area, for Slovakia to benefit from these investments to the fullest.
