About the Book

In this book, the authors expertly examine the issue of adolescent well-being in the light of their exposure to and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) at school and home. The authors discuss a new form of inequality especially noticeable among youth, which is, digital inequality/divide, created through rapid developments in ICT. They analyze the relation between digital divide and educational inequality among youth, describe patterns of social exclusion from technology and education, and discuss related policies in industrialized nations to see how well-being issues can be addressed in this context. Comparing results based on nationally representative and internationally comparative datasets across 28 countries, the authors ask how and why the benefits accruing from ICT are substantially greater for some adolescents, but apparently smaller for others and how such differences may be reduced. They provide policy suggestions that are broadly based in the fields of well-being, secondary education, and technology use. This book is of interest to researchers and students of quality of life and well-being studies and a wide range of social science and education disciplines, including the sociology of education, media sociology, sociology of childhood and adolescence, communication studies, and science and technology education.


About the Author: Josef Ma is Assistant Professor at the Department of Sociology, National Taipei University, Taiwan. Much of his scholarship centers on how macro-structural forces like human capital investment and income inequality influence the role of digital technology and the life chances of adolescents. Using a life-course perspective, he is also interested in examining a wide range of youth outcomes in the transition to adulthood, such as online behaviors, fertility intentions, and sexual relationships. Ma's research on related topics has appeared in Social Indicators Research, International Journal of Comparative Sociology, and International Sociology. Simon Cheng is Professor of Sociology at the University of Connecticut, USA, where he has been teaching since 2004. His teaching and research interests are: the sociology of education, family, race/ethnicity, sexuality, and quantitative methods. Cheng's publications in these areas include articles in American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Social Forces, Social Science Research, Sociological Methods & Research, and other journals.
