Ngokubeka phambili ukufinyeleleka, abathengisi bangavula isisekelo samakhasimende abalulekile nathembekile, bakhulise imali yabo engenayo ku-inthanethi.
Abathengisi babhekene nokudonsa kanzima kwemali yabo ye-inthanethi ngenxa yamawebhusayithi nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezihlulekayo ukucabangela izidingo zabathengi abakhulu.
Ucwaningo olwenziwe yi-Hassell Inclusion, inkampani yokufinyeleleka kwedijithali, lwembula igebe eliphathelene. Nakuba abaneminyaka engaphezu kuka-65 besebenzisa isilinganiso esingu-£163 ($211.22) ku-inthanethi njalo ngenyanga, lokhu kuhumushela ku-6% kuphela wemali engenayo etholakalayo.
Ucwaningo lwenzelwe ukufakwa kwe-Hassell yi-Yolo Communications ngoNovemba 2023 kusetshenziswa inhlolovo ye-inthanethi nefoni. Isampula yakhiwe abantu abadala abangu-1,296 base-UK abaneminyaka engu-65 nangaphezulu.
Lesi simo sigqamisa ithuba eligejiwe. Uma kuqhathaniswa nabaneminyaka engu-35-44 ubudala, abasebenzisa u-£294 ($376.36) ku-inthanethi nyanga zonke (ohlanganisa u-12% wemali yabo engenayo), abadala banamandla amakhulu okusebenzisa imali angasetshenzisiwe.
Izinkinga zokufinyeleleka
Ocwaningweni, i-70% yabantu abadala bakholelwa ukuthi abathengisi abayinaki imikhawulo ehlobene neminyaka njengokuncipha kwamehlo kanye nokuncipha kobuhlakani.
Bangaphezu kuka-80% ababike ukubhekana nobunzima bokuzulazula kwezakhiwo ezididayo, ukufunda umbhalo omncane, ukukhumbula amagama ayimfihlo ayinkimbinkimbi, nokuqeda imisebenzi ngaphambi kokuphelelwa yisikhathi.
Ingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu (33%) ithe ikuyekile ukuthenga nge-inthanethi ngenxa yobunzima bokusebenzisa iwebhusayithi noma uhlelo lokusebenza, kanti u-11% uthe uzosebenzisa imali eningi ku-inthanethi uma inqubo isilula.
Ukucindezela kokulawula koshintsho
Iziyalezo ze-European Accessibility Act ezizayo zithuthukise ukufinyeleleka kwamawebhusayithi nezinsizakalo zedijithali, okugqamisa ukuphuthuma ukubhekana nale nkinga.
U-Jonathan Hassell, oyi-CEO ye-Hassell Inclusion, ugcizelela isidingo sokuthatha isinyathelo ngokushesha: “Izidingo zabantu abadala azinakwa abathengisi nabahlinzeki bezinsizakalo. Ukwehluleka ukusebenzisa leli thuba kuza ngentengo ephezulu, uma kubhekwa iqiniso lokuthi abantu abangaphezu kweminyaka engama-65 bangabantu abakhula ngokushesha kakhulu. Cishe oyedwa kwabane abadala base-UK useneminyaka engama-65 noma ngaphezulu, ngakho amabhizinisi awasakwazi ukuziba izidingo zawo.”
Shayela esenzweni
Njengoba inani labantu abadala okulindeleke ukuthi likhule, u-Hassell unxusa amabhizinisi ukuthi abeke phambili ukufinyeleleka.
"Akekho kithina ongamisa ukukhubazeka okuza nokuguga, futhi amabhizinisi kumele acabangele ukuthi lokhu kuzoba nomthelela kanjani ekwakhiweni kwamapulatifomu awo edijithali ukuze ahlangabezane nezidingo zesizukulwane esidala esiba namandla ezobuchwepheshe."
Ngokubeka phambili ukufinyeleleka, abathengisi bangavula isisekelo samakhasimende abalulekile nathembekile, bakhulise imali yabo ye-inthanethi futhi baqinisekise imodeli yebhizinisi labo esikhathini esizayo.
