Abstract
Objective: To analyze the relationship between urban marginalization and the digital divide in Ciudad Juárez, México. Methodology: An urban marginality index was constructed using the principal components technique. Also, eight ordinary least squares regression models and a spatial lag were estimated. The 2020 census information was used as well as the 2020 National Housing Inventory produced by the National Institute of Statistic and Geography. Results: The analysis identifies that the relationship between urban marginalization is positive and significant with respect to the digital divide, mainly for the percentage of homes that do not have mobile phones and internet. Value: This study empirically contributes to understanding how the absence of the internet and electronic devices is still linked to and affects marginal areas, especially in a border context characterized by the emergence of marginal areas in the city. Limitations: The analysis only focuses on explaining the effects for the case of Ciudad Juarez, leaving aside other cities on the U.S.-Mexico border. And it only takes up a first debate on the digital divide that addresses the availability of technology. Conclusions: The results show that for people living in marginal areas, the absence of technology can exacerbate their condition in the city.
