Digital and financial literacy and the development of e-government platforms

Author

Abstract

The rapid growth of e-government platforms in the first decades of the new millennium has created both new opportunities and challenges. Digital citizenship and the digitalization of public services can represent a barrier for less competent individuals who need to connect and process information. The present contribution offers descriptive evidence on the relationship between e-government development and the average level of competences that may be arguably related to the ability of citizens to benefit from the digitalization of public services, namely digital and financial literacy.
