Abstract
Digital literacy has emerged as a crucial determinant of employability, productivity, and career advancement in the contemporary world of work. In the organized sector, working women increasingly rely on digital skills to access information, perform job-related tasks, communicate effectively, and adapt to technological changes. This study examines the impact of digital literacy on working women in the organized sector, with a specific focus on the opportunities it creates and the challenges it presents. The research analyzes how digital competence enhances professional efficiency, job performance, career growth, and economic empowerment among women employees. At the same time, it highlights persistent challenges such as unequal access to digital resources, gaps in advanced technical skills, work–life balance issues arising from digitalization, and variations in digital proficiency across age, education, and work experience. The study is based on primary data collected from working women across different sectors and regions, supported by relevant secondary sources. The findings underscore that higher levels of digital literacy significantly contribute to improved workplace participation and confidence among women, while also revealing the need for targeted training programs and supportive organizational policies. The study concludes that strengthening digital literacy among working women is essential for inclusive growth, gender equality, and sustainable development in the organized sector.
