The rural risk of digital exclusion: A case study of municipal digital health and social care services in Denmark by Barbara Fersch, Egon Bjørnshave Noe, Annette Aagaard Thuesen, Beate Langer

“…Digital solutions have the potential to contribute to a stronger inclusion of the rural population in health and welfare services in times of a more scattered infrastructure. However, in Denmark where there is a strong push towards a digitalization of these services, the demographic profile of the rural population, being older and with lower levels of education, implies that a large part of the population in digitally vulnerable positions resides here. …”
