Abstract
This article studies e-Government uses in order to determine if, among Internet users, e-administration services benefit to specific categories of the population. From individual French data (insee [2005]) and controlling for the selection bias related to Internet use, we show that among Internet users, those who use relatively more e-administration benefit from social transfers Revenues have no effect on the conditional probability of e-government demand. These results indicate that the digital divide is not doubled by a fracture related to income. In contrast, we show that there is a fracture related to computer skills and level of training.
