Paper Abstract:
|
Using data from large scale Annual Social Surveys of the CBS in Israel, the current research focused on patterns of digital
inequality among Israeli mothers between 2014-2019. The main purpose of the current study was to investigate the
differences within a group of single mothers according to their SES as well as differences between single and married
mothers and whether these patterns are stable or changeable over time. The highest percentage of digital uses adoption was
found among high SES mothers, both single and married. The most disadvantaged group was low SES married mothers.
Digital inequality among mothers is best explained by social class, rather than by the difficulties and restrictions of single
motherhood. Groups were consistent in their pace of digital uses adoption over time. Policymaker implementation of our
specific recommendations may produce beneficial effects for promotion of Internet use among single mothers. |
