Abstract

[eng] Until now, the political discourse on the digital divide implied a spatial dimension. The main issue was the difference between people who “ have ” ICT access and those who “ do not.” Henceforth, it is important to distinguish between ICT adoption and ICT usage. The “ first-level ” digital divide is governed by financial and socio-economic determinants. The “ second-level ” digital divide concerns ICT use and is essentially determined by individual social embedding. Officials must therefore take both digital divides into account in order to develop efficient incentive policies. We show that e-commerce and e-government are non-correlated and that socially embeddedness proxies distinct ICT usages. In our structural approach, human capital, economic capital, and multi-level social capital must be stimulated in different ways for each ICT usage. [fre] Il convient de bien différencier la question de l’adoption de celle de l’usage que l’on fait de l’Internet. Si la première ligne de fracture, celle de l’adoption, trouve son explication dans des déterminants d’ordre économique, les usages apparaissent quant à eux largement déterminés par des variables d’interactions non-marchandes et des aptitudes cognitives. Précisément, nous avançons que la fracture de second niveau se fonde sur l’encastrement social de l’usage. Nous illustrons ce point par l’analyse jointe de deux usages. Nous montrons que les pratiques du commerce électronique et de l’administration électronique sont non corrélées et que les variables d’encastrement sont discriminantes. Aussi, la fracture de second niveau ne peut être posée comme telle mais doit renvoyer à un usage en particulier. Combler les fossés numériques doit donc passer par une stimulation des différents niveaux de capital individuels (économique , humain , social) selon l’usage numérique.
