Picture this: over a billion young people across developing nations will join the workforce within the next ten years. That's massive. But here's the catch—without proper digital access, a huge chunk of them will be locked out of decent employment opportunities.
Why does this matter? Simple. The digital divide isn't just about internet access anymore. It's about survival in a modern economy. Those without digital skills and connectivity won't compete for quality jobs, productivity stalls, and poverty cycles repeat themselves.
Breaking down these barriers is no small thing. Bridging the digital gap could be the game-changer: opening doors to better employment, driving economic productivity, and actually making a dent in poverty. It's not just theory—it's about real opportunity meeting real need.

NGL, these ten years have really been a critical period, a billion people... Without the internet, there would be no opportunity, the logic is solid.

The digital divide issue affecting over a billion people in the world has long needed attention. Web3 can do much more than just this.

ngl that's why Web3 is so crucial; decentralized infrastructure can truly help this wave of people bypass traditional internet monopolies.
