The project will describe the effect of the COVID-19 related acceleration of the ICT usage on the heterogeneous group of older adults. It will evaluate the level and size of the change in their digital literacy and skills and try to identify the medium to long term effect of these (non)changes on the older people's quality of life and social inclusion. To reach this goal following activities will be performed: secondary analysis of the available datasets, new quantitative survey and qualitative in-depth interviews data. We employ a comparative and collaborative approach to find innovative ways to assess the macro-level societal influences brought by the profound social change and distinguish them from some of the previously known mezzo- and micro-factors affecting the affinity and adaptation to modern technologies in later life.
