Abstract

This study investigates the potential of digital sustainability in fostering inclusive economic growth through a systematic literature review of 150 studies published from 2002 to 2023. Through a rigorous content analysis, we identified 28 highly relevant studies illustrating how digital technologies can bridge socioeconomic divides, enhance access to resources, facilitate job creation and skill development, and improve urban planning, ultimately fostering a more supportive and inclusive societal ecosystem. However, a notable gap persists: the economic inclusive effects of digital sustainability are still underrepresented in existing literature. This underscores the necessity for a targeted research agenda to define theoretical frameworks and actionable managerial strategies that align digital sustainability efforts with inclusive growth goals. We advocate for future research to prioritize understanding the mechanisms enabling effective outcomes and evaluating long-term impacts, ultimately contributing to a more equitable digital economy.
