The deepening digital divide: Inequality in the information society

The rapid evolution of Information Technology (IT) has fundamentally reshaped societies globally, yet it has also exacerbated existing inequalities, particularly in developing nations. This paper explores the implications of IT's evolution on social, economic, and educational disparities, focusing on how access to technology influences opportunities and outcomes. Through an analysis of data and case studies from various regions, we aim to highlight the need for targeted policies that address these inequalities and promote a more inclusive information society.
