Abstract

The research paper is investigating the effect of income on digitalisation which differentiates, non-digitally skilled and digitally skilled workforce of India in terms of employment and economic inequality qualitatively using secondary sources from RBI and ITU website. As places having more connected with digital technologies and advertising attracting more tourists hence there has been a growing worry in the general public, that this digital divide will cause a gap in employment opportunities between the digitally literate and illiterate. Even though many studies have analysed the relationship between unemployment and digitalization, the studies in the Indian context have a severe urban bias and lack.
