With the globalization, massive technological advancement has been observed which has revolutionized the whole world and transformed our daily lives. This digital revolution has not only reshaped the way we work but has also paved the way for numerous opportunities for us in the labour market. The major problem is, although the advancement of technology has been path-breaking to those who have access to these, it presents several challenges to those who do not have access to these technologies and are left behind. Digital divide is still there in the rural areas, especially in the developing and least developed countries in the world and disparities are increasing with the introduction of fast evolving technologies. The challenges are especially profound in women, who face a triple divide: digital, rural and gender.
