Abstract The relationship between education, economic growth, the digital divide, skills, and social inequality is the prime focus of this review article. Though unequal access to digital technologies has led to new types of exclusion, education is universally acknowledged as a major driver of economic development. The review research determines how differences in digital skills and digital barriers affect economic results and employability. It implies that although education fosters productivity and skill development, the digital divide still prevents people, especially those from underprivileged classes, from taking full advantage of these opportunities. The need for both technical and soft skills has expanded due to rapid technological improvement, making skill development more important than ever. Income and social inequality are made worse by the unequal distribution of digital literacy and employability skills. The difficulties of inclusive development are further complicated by geographical and socioeconomic differences. The necessity of integrated policies that link labor market demands, technology, and education is very crucial. The study also emphasizes that attaining sustainable and equitable economic growth requires closing the digital gap and fostering inclusive skill development.
