Paper Abstract:
|
Individuals who have access to and are users of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tend to benefit from
that usage. Even though international migration nowadays is one of the biggest worldwide phenomena, and while
integration policies are failing, there is not much research on the influence of ICT usage on immigration issues. Aiming
to identify the links between ICT and immigration and to test their importance, author conducted an empirical study
presented in this paper. Research shows how ICT addresses the problem of immigration and who is behind web spaces
for immigrants. Immigrants are suffering from lack of social networks and lack of social capital, and network
technologies can be used to alleviate those problems. In conclusion, author offers some possible solutions for those
problems. |
