abstract: 'Purpose The objective of this study is to present evidence regarding how
|
||||
|
||||
young people, who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) in
|
||||
|
||||
South Africa, lack literacy skills and access to enabling resources to
|
||||
|
||||
actively search and navigate information services systems that are
|
||||
|
||||
primarily web-based. Information Poverty Theory is adopted to better
|
||||
|
||||
understand the technological and social strata challenges experienced by
|
||||
|
||||
young NEET people. Design/methodology/approach The study used
|
||||
|
||||
semi-structured interviews for collecting data over two months in 2018,
|
||||
|
||||
employing snowball sampling with 24 key participants, representing a
|
||||
|
||||
diversity of educational backgrounds and previous experience of economic
|
||||
|
||||
participation. Findings The findings of this study suggest that most
|
||||
|
||||
interviewed young people, who are NEET, lack advanced information
|
||||
|
||||
literacy and digital skills to access information services. The results
|
||||
|
||||
also indicate that access to information services that are primed for
|
||||
|
||||
online information is a challenge for most of these NEET young people
|
||||
|
||||
residing in underserviced communities. The high cost of an Internet
|
||||
|
||||
connection means that the Internet is out of reach for most low-income
|
||||
|
||||
households. In communities that are underserviced with no adequate
|
||||
|
||||
information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, people
|
||||
|
||||
residing in such areas are subjected to living in circumstances where
|
||||
|
||||
there is poverty and thus a lack of access to online information.
|
||||
|
||||
Research limitations/implications This paper reports on data collected
|
||||
|
||||
in 2018 using intense interviews, while acknowledging limitations in
|
||||
|
||||
terms of the sample size. Hence, it is not fully representative of the
|
||||
|
||||
whole population of young people, who are NEET, residing in the Gauteng
|
||||
|
||||
Province of South Africa. Practical implications The findings illustrate
|
||||
|
||||
the need for further collaboration among relevant stakeholders to
|
||||
|
||||
strengthen existing programmes and for stronger partnerships. The
|
||||
|
||||
arguments presented herein enhance knowledge and understanding
|
||||
|
||||
concerning the digital literacy skills divide that exists among young
|
||||
|
||||
people who are NEET. It includes a discussion to contribute to policy
|
||||
|
||||
development. Originality/value This study focuses on challenges young
|
||||
|
||||
people who are NEET experience when looking for work and developmental
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities. This qualitative study adopts Information Poverty Theory
|
||||
|
||||
and uses prior studies to link the undertaken survey and research. It is
|
||||
|
||||
expected that this study may serve as a pilot for future studies and may
|
||||
|
||||
also contribute to the ongoing discussions around the use of ICTs on
|
||||
|
||||
their use and access, especially the effect on young people when
|
||||
|
||||
searching for information related to jobs and other developmental
|
||||
|
||||
opportunities using online services.'
