Revisiting digital participation as a prerequisite of digital inclusion
本文分析了数字参与作为数字包容概念的关键挑战，指出其定义模糊且与相关概念关系复杂，尤其在老年群体中可能隐含年龄歧视，但也能促进福祉和包容。
The article analyses the key challenges of digital participation as a concept in the context of digital inclusion. Based on the conceptual analysis, digital participation is a complex concept with ambiguous interrelations with its close concepts, such as digital inclusion. Furthermore, the definition of digital participation varies depending on the perspective or who defines it and to what end. Lastly, many conceptualizations of digital participation in later life are intertwined with the notions of active agency and aging, which paradoxically can lead to ageism and thereby underscore the positive function of digital participation to enhance wellbeing and (digital) inclusion.
