Digital Dividends Walking the Walk

The World Bank’s 2016 World Development Report explores how digital technologies are impacting growth, jobs and public services. The internet and other digital technologies profoundly affect the lives of billions of people. The Report examines how they can be a force for development, especially for the poor in developing countries. The report explores the impact of digital technologies on economic growth, on social and economic opportunity, and on the efficiency of public service delivery. It analyzes the factors that have enabled or hindered businesses, people, and governments to benefit from these technologies. The report also identifies the policy reforms in the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, complementary reforms, and reforms in the development community required to maximize the impact of digital technologies on growth and development.
