Abstract

Aim. This ethnographic study explores the impact of the digital divide within the collective of Peruvian migrant women employed in a highly precarious sector, such as domestic services. Methods. This has become evident in this multisite and virtual ethnography, with the following objectives: to analyse the variables that affect digital exclusion, in addition to identifying and deepening the different digital competencies and uses of Information and communication technologies (ICT) in the migratory projects of Peruvian migrant women. In order to achieve these objectives, we undertook fieldwork during the COVID-19 pandemic in two contexts, Italy and Spain, using semi-structured interviews and virtual observation, during which we employed online social networks as research tools. Results. Although digital inequality was a reality prior to COVID-19, it has been worsened by the pandemic, at which time we began our fieldwork. Inequalities between men and women in the different areas of society are reproduced within the context of new technologies. This is termed the gender digital divide and is considered a form of social exclusion, which intensifies and feeds back into itself. Gender inequality in terms of the use of ICT and digital skills intensifies in communities that are even more vulnerable, such as migrant women, whose plenary incorporation into information society is limited. Conclusion. The use of ICT can aid in social inclusion of migrants in digitally advanced societies. However, Peruvian migrant women face new forms of social exclusion due to limited digital access, economic difficulties, and individual digital skills, leading to a gender and generational digital gap.

移民背景下的性别数字鸿沟:在意大利和西班牙的秘鲁移民妇女的案例
目标这项人种学研究探讨了在家政服务等高度不稳定行业就业的秘鲁移民妇女群体中数字鸿沟的影响。方法。这一点在这一多站点和虚拟民族志中表现得很明显,其目标如下:分析影响数字排斥的变量,以及确定和深化秘鲁移民妇女移民项目中不同的数字能力和信息通信技术的使用。为了实现这些目标,我们在新冠肺炎大流行期间,在意大利和西班牙两种情况下进行了实地调查,使用半结构化访谈和虚拟观察,在此期间,我们使用在线社交网络作为研究工具。后果尽管在新冠肺炎之前,数字不平等是一个现实,但随着疫情的爆发,这种情况更加恶化,当时我们开始了实地调查。社会不同领域的男女不平等现象在新技术的背景下重现。这被称为性别数字鸿沟,被认为是一种社会排斥形式,它会加剧并反馈给自己。在更脆弱的社区,如移民妇女,在使用信息和通信技术和数字技能方面的性别不平等现象加剧,她们融入信息社会的机会有限。结论信息和通信技术的使用可以帮助移民融入数字发达社会。然而,由于数字访问受限、经济困难和个人数字技能,秘鲁移民妇女面临新形式的社会排斥,导致性别和代际数字差距。
