Abstract

This literature review investigates the role of e-inclusion initiatives in promoting socioeconomic inclusion for young people, focusing on effective technology leveraging. It addresses how e-inclusion initiatives can advance youth socioeconomic inclusion and identifies key success factors. The review analyzes peer-reviewed articles, policy reports, and case studies to synthesize current knowledge on e-inclusion strategies, implementation, and outcomes. Findings reveal that successful e-inclusion initiatives extend beyond providing technological access, incorporating digital literacy education, culturally sensitive design, and integration with broader socioeconomic support systems. Key success factors include tailored community-specific approaches, sustained engagement, relevant digital skill development, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Challenges such as rapidly evolving technology, persistent socioeconomic barriers, and the need for long-term impact assessment are highlighted. The study explores various e-inclusion dimensions, including hardware/software access, internet connectivity, digital competencies, and online safety, examining their intersection with traditional socioeconomic indicators. It also considers policy implications and integration into national digital strategies and educational curricula. By analyzing global case studies, the review identifies best practices and lessons learned. It contributes to digital inclusion literature by providing a comprehensive overview of current practices and identifying research gaps. The study concludes by proposing a framework for future initiatives and suggesting further research directions to enhance technology-driven approaches in advancing youth socioeconomic inclusion. It emphasizes the need for interdisciplinary approaches to develop holistic and sustainable e-inclusion strategies.
