Este estudo examina o impacto da literacia digital no crescimento do rendimento dos trabalhadores equatorianos, analisando como a literacia digital e a adopção de tecnologias digitais influenciam o rendimento do trabalho e identificando o potencial para reduzir as desigualdades económicas através da melhoria das competências digitais. Recorrendo aos dados do Inquérito Nacional ao Emprego, Desemprego e Subemprego (ENEMDU) de 2023, realizado pelo Instituto Nacional de Estatística e Censos (INEC), este inquérito utiliza um modelo de regressão de Mínimos Quadrados Ordinários (MQO) para estimar os efeitos. Os resultados confirmam que a literacia digital e a adopção digital aumentam significativamente os níveis de rendimento. Estas conclusões são consistentes com a literatura existente, destacando o papel positivo das competências digitais na melhoria da empregabilidade e da produtividade. Ao promover a literacia digital, o Equador pode melhorar as oportunidades económicas, reduzir a desigualdade e promover o crescimento inclusivo. O estudo sublinha a necessidade de políticas abrangentes que apoiem a educação digital e o desenvolvimento de infra-estruturas, garantindo que todos os cidadãos possam participar plenamente na economia digital. Estas ideias procuram informar os decisores políticos e as partes interessadas, contribuindo para uma sociedade mais equitativa e próspera.
