Rural territories make up more than 70% of France’s national territory. Nevertheless, there are the most affected by social and economic inequalities, especially regarding access to services, mobility, and land use planning.
Limited access, and the resulting isolation, are a consequence of limited physical mobility and a strong digital divide. 20% of the population has difficulties with the use of digital tools; has weak computer illiteracy and struggles to access the internet.
The COVID-19 pandemic has once more highlighted the vulnerability of France’s rural population, as local lockdowns and restrictions on mobility have accelerated the digitalisation of work and services. Many families who already found themselves in precarious situations and have little to no access to the internet, are now more than ever struggling to access the services they need (i.e. social rights).
Join this National Roundtable with representatives from the public, private and NGO sector to discuss this issue and learn how companies and NGOs can make a practical difference though hands-on, local projects.
