Globally, digital literacy is emerging as a crucial tool for personal and societal development. In Nigeria, a nation grappling with various challenges, digital literacy offers a potential solution to empower women economically.
This study investigates the impact of digital literacy on the economic empowerment of women in Owerri Municipal. By analyzing data from a survey of 255 women, the research found that women with digital skills exhibit greater economic success compared to those without. Key findings include:
●        Enhanced Economic Performance: Digitally literate women demonstrate improved performance in various economic activities.
●        Increased Opportunities: Digital literacy opens doors to new opportunities, particularly in entrepreneurship and online businesses.
●        Improved Financial Management: Digital tools facilitate better financial planning and decision making.
To maximize the potential of digital literacy, the following recommendations are proposed: ∙ Government Initiatives: The government should prioritize digital literacy programs for women, offering scholarships and incentives.
●        Empowerment Opportunities: Women should actively seek opportunities to acquire digital skills and leverage them for economic advancement.
●        Leadership Roles: Digitally literate women should be encouraged to assume leadership positions in both public and private sectors.
By investing in digital literacy, Nigeria can empower women, drive economic growth, and create a more equitable society
