Digital Inequality is considered one of the leading causes of socioeconomic disparities nowadays and a barrier to sustainable development. This study aims to systematically review scientific publications on the impact of digital inequality in achieving sustainable development. While the findings show that there has been a substantial expansion of scientific publications on the focused area in recent years, there is still a lack of empirical and comparative studies, less focus on the offline benefits of online activities were also demonstrated by the results. Moreover, SDGs 04 and 05 were identified as the predominant goals in the literature. Findings further highlighted the importance of an accurate conceptualization of digital inequality.
