Abstract

The birth of the Internet raised new hopes for eliminating inequality in social interactions. The fact is that there is a digital divide among internet users, especially for women. Studies show that in using technology there is a gap between women and men. In today’s digital era children grow up with technology, so for a mother, digital skills are important. So far, technology has always been identified with men. This research was conducted to examine the digital divide among mothers. Through the Information Gap Theory and concepts about the digital divide, it is hoped that an in-depth analysis of the digital divide among mothers will be obtained. The research was conducted using qualitative methods and the data were collected through in-depth interviews and literature studies. The results showed that the digital divide among mothers was not due to socio-economic factors but because of low motivation to increase their ability to use digital technology. Especially for housewives because they do not see the use and importance of digital technology in their lives.
