Digital divide allows the education system to stay up to date. Education is a very dynamic sector,the presence of internet will ensure to get the latest trends and revolutionize your research skills. ICT services would improve the education standards. Installation of computer laboratries,provision of laptops to every student leads to academic success. It helps students communicate with teachers online and they can aquire the technological skills they will need in the future. However, those in the lower divisions will not be able to monitor their progress and they often lack the motivation.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Education:
Due to digital divide, students are deprived of opportunities for learning, research and future employment, especially with most platforms of knowledge being more digitalized. Thus, DD prevents students from accessing course material and assignments. Students are also unable to take advantage of courses available online that may aid in advancing their knowledge and involvement in academic endeavors.

2) Employment:
A long-term impact of the lack of academic resources available for consumption for current students would further contribute towards employability and limits their capability of excelling or specialization in real life situations. If students or people in the labor market are unable to obtain skills (basic digital literacy, etc.) demanded by employers, chances of employment may be slim.

Even though Singapore is a developed country that has one of the worlds fastest internet connections, they still experience digital divide. However the government is working on initiatives to help reduce the divide by implementing subsidy programmes which have allowed students to purchase computers and internet at very cheaper prices. For their older citizens, the government has implemented free internet access in libraries and public places to encourage them to get online, Employees such as doctors and businessmen can take advantage of the high-speed wifi making their work and communication to clients and patients easier.

Computer Science and Information Technology should be more prioritized in education and schools

The goverments should provide oppurtunities and sources of incomes to students who can't afford a computer system for themselves.

The governments could provide a broad-band connection to homes, even if it is limited to a specific speed or connection, so that the divide is minimized

Public buildings can offer free internet access to the elderly to encourage online usage.

The younger generation who are considered as Digital Natives can teach the older generation as they are considered 'digital imigrants'

1. Age: If you’re an older person you’re much less likely to use the internet than a younger person:. Overall, adults ages 65 and older account for almost half (49%) of non-internet users by age group.
2. Income and educational attainment: If you have a college degree or live in a high income household, you’re much more likely to use the internet. Only 4% of college graduates do not use the internet compared with 41% of those without a high school degree.
3. Community type: If you live in a rural area (with limited broadband access) you’re less likely to use the internet than an urban or suburban resident: 20% of rural residents are offline, compared with 14% of both urban and suburban residents.
4.Different language speaking, other than English, are less likely to use the internet as a report found in 2011 Spanish speaking population are 29% less likely to use the internet.

Youngsters in the UK, mostly graduates, cant afford basic necessities like shelter and technology because they are in debt. This means they cant use the latest technology to find work.
The digital divide increases the cost of a job search, which simultaneously lowers both the chance of finding an appropriate job and the ability to make a fair pay . An insufficient amount of IT skills, broadband access and social media can make it hard to get employed because people with no internet access or IT skills aren't able to find out the latest information regarding job opportunities.

There are at least three factors at play: information accessibility, information utilization, and information receptiveness. More than just accessibility, individuals need to know how to make use of the information and communication tools once they exist within a community. Information professionals have the ability to help bridge the gap by providing reference and information services to help individuals learn and utilize the technologies to which they do have access, regardless of the economic status of the individual seeking help.

1) Increase digital literacy

We have for such a long time had a narrow view of what digital literacy entails. Basically, most stakeholders confuse digital literacy and computer literacy. Computer literacy is the ability to use a computing device, together with its associated hardware and software components, and the internet.
2) Provide operational incentives to information and communication technology entities
There are various organizations fighting hard to narrow the digital divide. Sometimes, existing Laws and financial barriers thwart such efforts. Providing incentives relieves the burden encountered by such institutions. This responsibility especially lies with the existing governments.

3)Develop local content.

One of the most consistent ideas to emerge during this week’s meeting was that simply providing technical tools for Internet access isn’t sufficient. To welcome the next billion users, companies and technologists need to engage deeply with local communities to determine if and how they intend to use this access. That way, said the experts, networks can be built out in ways that best suit those purposes. In other words, responding to actual demand for the Internet is as important as devising new schemes to offer it.

Research shows that 23% of adults have difficulty managing information. Additionally, 11.1 million people in the UK have low digital capability in using services online. The government of the UK has plans to make the training in basic digital skills free for all adults who need help. House of Commons Science and Technology Committee has stated that, the digital skills gap costs the UK economy £63 billion per year. However, the potential to change is huge. One key part of that response is producing local content that is relevant to potential new users in their native languages. Our government has begun to offer online services for employment, taxes, or licenses, which is one way to generate local content. Local developers are also seeing success with local sites and apps that help people share and connect with each other in a particular area. The Government, the private sector, we as a whole have something to pick up from finding a way to connect with the carefully partitioned in our general public. This could mean creating ergonomically structured equipment to provide for the less physically fit, creating Web destinations for the outwardly disabled, or through activities giving networks direct Internet experience. If just one in four civil servants help a colleague, friend, family member or neighbor to get online, that means more than 100,000 people will be empowered – not only to use government services, but to access all the economic, social, health and well-being opportunities and benefits of being online. By working together, we can help bridge this digital divide.
