Young People and the Digital Divide in Egypt

This paper used an ordered probit model to examine the determinants of the digital divide in Egypt. Using a sample of 15,029 individuals, the results showed that urbanization is a good predictor of the digital divide gap. In particular, the researchers found a positive correlation between urbanization and digital divide. Other variables such as gender, wealth and level of education were found to be significant predictors of the digital divide as well.
