Digital Literacy and Job Inequality

Digital literacy refers to the ability to effectively use digital tools and the internet to access, manage, and create information. In today’s job market, individuals with strong digital skills often have better employment opportunities. Job inequality arises when certain groups—due to factors like education, socioeconomic status, or geography—lack the digital skills needed for many modern jobs, leading to disparities in income and job security. As technology advances, the divide between those who can navigate the digital world and those who cannot may widen, contributing to overall economic and social inequality.
