Inhaltsangabe

Starting from the assumption that digital capital is a capital in its own right, and can be quantified and measured as such, the authors of this book critically examine how digital capital can be defined, measured and impact policy.Â


Using the Bourdieusian lens, this book makes a critical contribution to the field by digging deeper into the notion of digital capital and introducing a new theoretical toolkit in order to fully conceptualise it. Against this theoretical background, the authors propose a set of indicators that can be used to measure digital capital at an individual level. Ultimately, readers will learn how this can be used by policy makers to tackle social inequalities based on the digital exclusion of citizens.Â

Due to the vital role digital capital plays in connecting offline experiences and resources with the online realm, as well as transforming the digital experience into tangible benefits and positive outcomes, this book is critical to understanding how the digital divide is formed. It will be an important resource for those studying and working on the concept of digital capital and digital inequalities.
