Generacja 50 plus wobec e-administracji. Perspektywa A.D. 2021

— In 2019, generation 50 plus in Poland constituted 37,5% of society. It is a group diversified along many dimensions, also with regard to its attitude towards e-administration. This paper analyzes the attitudes of respondents towards e-services in the realm of public administration as well as the reasons why the former are not made use of. The research results demonstrate that generation 50 plus more rarely takes advantage of both e-administration and the Internet at large. However, the situation is changing because the index of the individuals not using the Internet within the scrutinized group gradually decreases. Years-long investigations demonstrate that the respondents rationalize the fact of not taking advantage of e-administration mainly by the level of the security of data transferred online as well as by the lack of relevant skills in citizens. This situation has invariably prevailed for many years now. In conclusion, the author also considers the situation connected with the appearance of the virus SARS-CoV-2 and poses the question of whether citizens were and are prepared for public offices operating under a sanitary regime?
