Il peut être plus facile d’obtenir des prestations sociales ou de trouver des informations grâce aux services publics en ligne. Cependant, il arrive parfois que les personnes âgées ne possèdent pas les compétences numériques nécessaires pour les utiliser, ce qui peut éventuellement les empêcher d’exercer leurs droits fondamentaux. Elles peuvent ainsi être désavantagées et risquer d’être exclues de nos sociétés numérisées. Tel est l’avertissement lancé par l’Agence des droits fondamentaux de l’Union européenne (FRA) dans un rapport. Les pays de l’UE doivent garantir un accès universel aux services publics. Les personnes âgées devraient être en mesure de choisir la manière d’y accéder et recevoir de l’aide pour acquérir des compétences numériques.
