Using data from large scale Annual Social Surveys of the CBS in Israel, the current research focused on patterns of digital inequality among Israeli mothers between 2014 and 2019. The main purpose of the current study was to investigate digital inequality among mothers based on their marital status when controlling for their socioeconomic status (SES) and to clarify whether the patterns of digital inequality are stable or changeable over time. Among both single and married mothers the highest adoption rates were found for seeking information and social media, while internet use for study and e-government services were the lowest. Digital inequality among mothers is best explained by social class, rather than by the difficulties and restrictions of single motherhood. Both groups of mothers were consistent in their pace of digital use adoption over time, so if effective intervention strategies are not introduced, between-group gaps will continue to exist. Policymakers' implementation of our specific recommendations may produce beneficial effects for the promotion of Internet use among single mothers.

目前的研究使用来自以色列 CBS 的大规模年度社会调查的数据，重点关注 2014 年至 2019 年间以色列母亲之间的数字不平等模式。本研究的主要目的是根据母亲的婚姻状况调查母亲之间的数字不平等在控制他们的社会经济地位 (SES) 并阐明数字不平等的模式是稳定的还是随时间变化的。在单身和已婚母亲中，寻求信息和社交媒体的采用率最高，而用于学习和电子政务服务的互联网使用率最低。母亲之间的数字不平等最好用社会阶层来解释，而不是单身母亲的困难和限制。随着时间的推移，两组母亲在数字使用方面的采用速度是一致的，因此如果不引入有效的干预策略，组间差距将继续存在。政策制定者对我们具体建议的实施可能会对促进单身母亲使用互联网产生有益的影响。
