The development of information and communication technology (ICT) has
significantly transformed the socio-economic structure of society, particularly in terms
of income distribution. This study aims to analyse the impact of ICT development on
income inequality across 34 provinces in Indonesia from 2012 to 2020, employing
econometric methods based on panel data through a fixed effects model. Empirical
findings reveal that ICT readiness and ICT skills tend to exacerbate income inequality,
while ICT use and its quadratic form contribute to reducing it. These results suggest
that although ICT infrastructure and skills are crucial, their uneven distribution
and utilisation can widen income disparities. Consequently, this study highlights
the importance of ensuring equitable access to ICT across Indonesia to mitigate
economic inequality. The study's recommendations stress the pivotal role of the
government in expanding ICT infrastructure, fostering a research and innovation
climate conducive to digital transformation, and formulating policies that enhance
ICT skills nationwide. These measures would improve digital literacy, upgrade
workforce capabilities, and promote inclusive digital economic growth. Ultimately,
comprehensive and equitable ICT development can play a critical role in reducing
income inequality across Indonesia.
