Abstract:
As the digital economy advances rapidly, the digital divide has seeped into various aspects of China's industrial development, financial services, and infrastructure construction, leading to a noticeable wealth gap, disparities in industrial growth, and information inequalities. This study proposes a fundamental framework for analyzing the digital divide, focusing on regional disparities, urban-rural divides, industry discrepancies, and enterprise-level differences. An index system for evaluating China's digital divide is formulated, utilizing the entropy method to weigh secondary indicators and calculate China's digital divide index from 2017 to 2022. Findings reveal a widening digital gap over the past five years. The growth rate of China's digital divide steadily increased from 2017 to 2020, experienced a slight decline in 2021, and increased again in 2022. Across different dimensions, regional and industrial disparities in the digital realm are expanding, while the urban-rural gap is gradually narrowing, and digital divisions among enterprises fluctuate. Governing the digital divide necessitates bolstering digital infrastructure construction and implementing the strategy of “channeling more computing resources from the eastern areas to the less developed western regions” in depth. It also involves establishing digital technology innovation platforms, fostering e-commerce and e-government services to enhance IT utilization, and fostering coordinated digital economic development across regions while adapting strategies to local conditions, fostering regional cooperation, and facilitating talent mobility between regions. Moreover, instituting a policy framework incentivizing digital innovation, encouraging digital transformation in relevant industries and enterprises, and establishing robust government, enterprise, and societal collaboration mechanisms are imperative to ensure equitable distribution of digital benefits. Establishing a feedback mechanism for digital technology usage, enhancing digital literacy, and employing diverse and effective strategies are also crucial for narrowing the digital divide.
