Digital Divide Hits Ethnic Minorities
Posted: 15th Oct, 2003 By: MarkJ
New research from the universities of Warwick and Leeds has found that "white" (Caucasian) households are more likely to surf the Internet than their ethnic counterparts:
The survey, of 1,585 households in deprived areas, found that 37% of white families owned computers, compared with 31% of black families.
The figure among Asian families was 42%, but this group was less likely than others to use the internet.
Meanwhile, only 20% of Asian people and 26% black people questioned had used computers to access government services on line. The figure for white respondents was 34%.
