초록

본 연구는 코로나19가 장애인과 비장애인 사이의 디지털 격차에 미친 영향을 실증적으로 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구는 한국정보화진흥원의 2019년과 2020 년 디지털 정보격차 실태조사 자료를 활용하여, 네 가지 측면의 디지털 접근성, 즉동기적 접근, 물리적 접근, 기술적 접근, 그리고 활용적 접근을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 코로나19로 인한 디지털 격차의 심화 가능성에 대한 실증적 분석을 통해 장애인과비장애인 간 디지털 격차가 줄어들고 있다는 점을 발견하였다. 특히 본 연구는 디지털 격차에 대한 논의가 단순한 디지털 기기 보유나 이용 수준 등의 차원을 넘어이용의 방식과 수준 등 질적 차원에 대한 논의를 환기한다는 점에서 향후 학문적및 정책적 논의의 방향성을 제시한다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the digital divide between people with disabilities and those without disabiliti es. Specifically, the study focuses on analyzing the changes in digital divide trends based on four aspects of digital accessibility: motivational access, physical access, technical access, and utilization access. To accomplish this, the study utilizes data from the Korea Information Society Agency's 2019 (pre-COVID) and 2020 (post-COVID) surveys on digital divide. Using the propensity score matching method, the study conducted a difference-in-difference regression anal ysis on a total of 15,502 respondents, comparing the differences between the group of people with disabilities and the group without disabilities before and after COVID-19. This empirical analysis of the potential exacerbation of the digital divide due to COVID-19 is significant in discovering the reduction of the digital divide between people with disabilities and those without disabilities. Furthermore, this study goes beyond discussions on dimensions such as simple possession or usage levels of digital devices and stimulates discussions on qualita tive dimensions, such as usage patterns and levels, regarding the digital divide, providing directions for future academic and policy discussions.
