Policy debates about the digital divide often focus on the availability and quality of Internet access, despite the fact that device inequities are persistent and widespread. To address this important but often overlooked policy concern, we present findings from a systematic literature review of policy research that informs the supply of low-cost, large-screen computers. Using the framework of multisolving innovations, we explore policies from across three disparate sectors—e-waste, right-to-repair, and digital inclusion—to determine whether any of these policies can serve as cross-sector solutions that work simultaneously to help reduce digital inequalities and e-waste, while strengthening secondhand device labor markets. As a result, we highlight a wide range of policies that would optimize both the supply and distribution of affordable devices to low-income consumers and, at the same time, broaden the base of stakeholders invested in digital equity.

多重解决创新:数字资产、电子垃圾和维修权政策如何增加平价计算机的供应

尽管设备不平等现象持续存在且普遍存在,但有关数字鸿沟的政策辩论往往集中在互联网接入的可用性和质量上。为了解决这一重要但经常被忽视的政策问题,我们提出了对政策研究进行系统文献综述的结果,这些研究为低成本大屏幕计算机的供应提供了信息。使用多重解决创新框架,我们探索了来自三个不同部门的政策——电子废物、维修权和数字包容——以确定这些政策是否可以作为跨部门解决方案,同时帮助减少数字不平等和电子废物,同时加强二手设备劳动力市场。因此,我们强调了一系列广泛的政策,这些政策将优化向低收入消费者提供负担得起的设备的供应和分配,同时扩大投资于数字股权的利益相关者的基础。
