Summary. Rural youth in Ecuador's Zone 5 face digital divides that prevent cultural participation. Young people with stable internet and digital skills training show higher technological confidence and engage more in online cultural communities. Those with unstable connections and basic devices struggle to access digital cultural opportunities. The study reveals digital exclusion involves more than infrastructure—it requires addressing education, cultural barriers, and symbolic access through targeted public policies.
