This thesis aims to analyze the Swedish policy for digitalization in relation to the user and non-user. The thesis also touches upon the policy´s handling of digital exclusion. Sweden´s development towards a society which is more and more digitalized affects the citizen in many ways, which calls for this study.

To be able to answer the research questions the method What´s the problem represented to be? And the theory Social Shaping of Technology are used as an analytical tool.
In the policy for digitalization the user can be understood as an important implement to reach the goal of becoming the world´s most digitalized nation. The opposite can be assumed for the non-user. Not being a user will be understood as a disadvantage for the entire society, since it may hinder the wished societal development. Regarding the digital exclusion it is in some ways dealt with considering that the goal is that everyone should be able to participate in a digital society. On the other hand, there are few active measures towards achieving a lesser exclusion. The problem is recognized but not properly treated, which must be distinctly understood. (Less)
