Assessing the Impact of Digital Initiatives on Economic Growth and Digital Inclusion

Abstract

Digital initiatives refer to comprehensive plans and strategies that integrate digital technology into various areas of the economy and society. In industries including business, healthcare, education, and government services, these initiatives usually seek to improve accessibility, productivity, and overall quality of life. In order to foster economic expansion, enhance digital inclusivity, and ensure that all segments of society have access to and can benefit from digital technology, international governments, and organizations have launched several digital initiatives in recent years. The steady increase in a nation's output of goods and services over time, typically represented by a rise in GDP (gross domestic product), is what we mean when we talk about economic growth. Alternatively, digital inclusion refers to the process of making sure that information and communication technologies (ICTs) are available to and usable by individuals and groups, especially those who are marginalized. Technology availability in the physical sense as well as the aptitude and understanding required to operate it efficiently are included in this.
