The problem of health is prominent in the USA, and solutions include providing information, distinguishing users\u2019 profiles and improving eHealth literacy. Economic and political factors led to the urban\u2013rural information divide in China, and policy is the most powerful solution. Under the influence of humanism, research on the information divide in the UK focuses on all age groups, and solutions differ according to age. Deep-rooted patriarchal concepts and traditional marriage customs make the gender information divide prominent in India, and increasing women\u2019s information consciousness is a feasible way to reduce this divide.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper is an extensive review study on the information divide, which clarifies the key countries and their focal fields in research on this topic.
