Abstract

The aim of this article is to conceptualize e-Inclusion and identify factors affecting it. A critical review of the literature is conducted to identify and categorize the factors influencing e-Inclusion into a comprehensive taxonomy. Using a survey questionnaire, the impact of these factors in influencing citizens' adoption of e-government services was examined. The findings highlight a number of factors under demographic, political, economic social, cultural, and infrastructural dimensions that can have a significant influence on e-Inclusion.
