Digital Transformation and Social Well-Being: Promoting an Inclusive Society
Editat de Antonio López Peláez, Sang-Mok Suh, Sergei Zeleneven Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mai 2024
Reflecting on current trends the authors vividly illustrate the collective, global nature of the challenge that digitalisation represents for providers, administrators and users of welfare services. It is important, therefore, to bear in mind the following for research design and practice:
- Citizens' rights must be protected
- Consideration should be given to how the services provided can be improved by more effective use of ICTs
- Digital interventions require better service coordination in the setting of priorities and specific training in digital skills for service providers and service users

This is a highly relevant and timely book. Tremendous advances in digital technologies are seen everywhere and can help empower disadvantaged groups and foster their social inclusion. The volume provides stimulating and uplifting reading, and at the same time highlights down-to-earth lessons in the use of digital tools for the purpose of improving people’s lives and the enhancement of social well-being.

This compelling book explores a critical issue in post-pandemic societies: the digitalisation model being implemented in the field of social welfare. The authors examine good practices in a variety of contexts, opening the debate on the use of digital technologies in a diversity of welfare systems. Sponsored by the International Council on Social Welfare, an NGO dedicated to promoting social welfare since 1928, the volume invites readers to reflect deeply on the rapid pace of social changes. A highly recommended reading to address the multiple challenges of the 21st century.

This timely volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of the social implications of the digital age.

Descriere
This is the first book to show how digitalisation and the better provision of ICTs can improve access to a wide-range of social services, as well as make them more inclusive. Overcoming disparities across social groups using contemporary digitalisation models will have lasting consequences on social well-being and human welfare.
