Abstract

Over the last decades, while we have been witnessing digital transformation with the rise of the internet and other technological innovations, the older population continues to rise all around the world with increasing life expectancy. These important developments pose important health, economic, and social challenges to societies. Even though the diffusion of the internet has rapidly increased worldwide, the digital divide between young and elderly people is still present, particularly in the developing countries. The aim of this study is to explore age-based digital divide in the Turkish population. Although the number of internet users has increased among the older population over time, a prominent digital divide remains between younger and older people in the Turkish population.
