The Digital Divide

in Israel

The Digital Divide is a social challenge that refers to the gap between those who have consistent access to computers and the internet and those who don’t. The gap grows as a country becomes more dependent on technology in both its economic and democratic institutions. Narrowing the Digital Divide has proven to reduce socioeconomic inequality.

​

In partnership with Bezeq and The Center for Internet Research at Haifa University, headed by Professor Sheizaf Rafaeli, Appleseeds developed an Israel ICT Index. The Index serves as a tool for understanding and benchmarking the Digital Divide across Israeli society, and as an engine in identifying future investments in education and technology.
