# Digital Divide The digital divide denotes the disparity in access to information and communication technologies among different demographics and regions. This gap manifests in unequal opportunities to benefit from digital resources, impacting education, economic advancement, and social interaction. Factors contributing to the divide include economic status, geography, and education levels, resulting in varying degrees of internet connectivity and digital literacy. Addressing this divide is crucial for fostering inclusive growth and equitable access to digital services.
