Towards Child-Centred and Future-Ready Inclusive Digital Public Infrastructure
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
Digital public infrastructure (DPI) has the potential to enable an inclusive digital transformation of societies, including for children. However, this outcome is not inevitable unless current approaches to digital inclusion change and become more holistic. In a review carried out with the London School of Economics, UNICEF examined select digital inclusion policies from five regions and 17 countries (including 10 G20 members and two G20 guest countries) and found that, overall, they were not sufficiently child-centred, focused on inequalities, or future-ready. However, we identified promising practices and opportunities for improvement. Drawing on the findings, this policy brief offers three recommendations to the G20 for an effective DPI: develop inclusive digital policies for and with children; take a holistic approach to deal with child digital inequality; and better anticipate the effects of emerging technologies and democratise their associated benefits.
