Modeling the role of government efforts in promoting digital literacy

Abstract

Digital literacy refers to the ability to effectively and efficiently use digital tools and platforms for different facilities, and digital illiteracy refers to the lack of necessary skills and knowledge to effectively use these systems. In the era of technology, digital literacy is crucial for the development of any nation. Digital literacy not only helps in getting education, management of various facilities, etc., but also reduces the economic corruption. The objective of our work is to analyze the role of government efforts in providing the digital education to the population in any considered region by formulating a mathematical model. Here, in formulating the model, we assume that government aware the population regarding the benefits of the digital education and the individuals of digital literate class help the individuals of illiterate and aware class to become digitally literate. It is also assumed that government made the efforts at a rate proportional to the digitally illiterate individuals with a decreasing function of digitally literate individuals. The formulated model is qualitatively analyze and it is shown that efforts made by the government to digitally literate the population has the substantial impact.
