Summary/Abstract: The digital divide (second level skills and third level online benefits) and social inequalities – socio-economic (inequalities between professional groups with different levels of education), which are associated with unequal market opportunities; socio-demographic inequalities (based on gender and age) are interrelated. At the same time, digital communication is developing and increasingly entering both professional and personal life. This article is focused on social inclusion and inequalities in the context of digital society and digital communication. The goal is to investigate the importance of socio-professional status for the development of digital skills, for the benefits and risks of online communication. To realize this goal, the article makes a secondary analysis of data from the tenth wave of the European Social Survey and the Digital Economy and Society Index to 2021.
