Signal Luxembourg study: digital divide has shifted from access to skills

Summary

Luxembourg's Ministry of Digitalisation released a study conducted by the Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research, titled Digital Inclusion: An Analysis of the Situation in 2025. The study found that only 0.87 percent of the population remains entirely offline. That finding indicates basic internet access is no longer the primary issue. Instead, the real digital divide today is defined by how intensively people use digital tools. It is also defined by whether that use translates into tangible educational and professional benefits.
