Resumen:
The study focuses on the influence of inequalities (social, economic, cultural, gender) in the ICT appropriation experience by young students. The research proposes a comparison between the technological trajectories of popular and middle class youth from two urban places in La Plata and Gran La Plata. With a qualitative approach (life stories) the study will contribute to the evaluation of the implementation social conditions of the Programa Conectar Igualdad as public policy that tends to reduce digital divides. The main goal is to comprehend the interrelationships between ICT and inequality through the study of the incorporation of technologies in the lives of youngsters, the evaluation of conditions of implementation of the PCI and its impact in education, social and cultural capital, employment, participation and gender equality in a context of social inequalities. The project will be implemented with groups of youngsters who are benefited by the PCI in an impoverished sector of long standing labouring families, and in a residential neighborhood of middle and upper middle class families.
