Originality – This study aims to provide a more robust measure of the digital divide-from access, capabilities, to outcomes.

We propose new operational definitions for ICT access, usage, and appropriation based on the analyses. We found that one’s purpose for which technology is accessed, used and appropriated, determines how each of the levels of ICT assets are defined. Findings – The factor analyses revealed an interesting breakdown of the main factors of ICT access, usage and appropriation. Factor analyses were deployed to identify the underlying, granular dimensions of ICT access, usage, and appropriation. Methodology – Through a quantitative survey, 302 unemployed and under-employed workers were asked what ICT “access”, “usage” and “appropriation” meant to them. The proposed framework is hypothesized and tested in the context of unemployed and under-employed residents in Singapore. We also address the conceptual and methodological problems in the digital divide field, given that its focus has shifted from technological access to higher order divides over the years. Note: Author names will be searched in the keywords field, also, but that may find papers where the person is mentioned, rather than papers they authored.ġStanford PULSE Institute, 2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USAĢDepartment of Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USAģDepartment of Applied Physics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, USAĤSLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, 2575 Sand Hill Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USAĥIdesta Quantum Electronics, LLC.Purpose – This paper presents a framework tomeasure the digital divide by considering amore comprehensive index of ICT predictors.Use a comma to separate multiple people: J Smith, RL Jones, Macarthur.Use these formats for best results: Smith or J Smith.For best results, use the separate Authors field to search for author names.Use quotation marks ' ' around specific phrases where you want the entire phrase only.Question mark (?) - Example: 'gr?y' retrieves documents containing 'grey' or 'gray'.Asterisk ( * ) - Example: 'elect*' retrieves documents containing 'electron,' 'electronic,' and 'electricity'.Improve efficiency in your search by using wildcards.Example: (photons AND downconversion) - pump.Example: (diode OR solid-state) AND laser.

Note the Boolean sign must be in upper-case.

Separate search groups with parentheses and Booleans.

Keep it simple - don't use too many different parameters.
