Abstract

This study focuses on the importance of digital literacy and a knowledge-based economy in the context of community empowerment in age of Society 5.0. A comprehensive approach includes literature reviews and analysis of specific communities or organizations. Qualitative research is a more suitable method involving non-numerical data collection and analysis. This research uses the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM) framework to analyze the factors influencing and contributing to the younger generation. CBAM helps understand individual motivation and ability to adopt innovations, such as digital literacy and the knowledge-based economy. The findings reveal that government factors such as technology and internet access, digital education and training, socio-economic conditions, infrastructure, and motivation influence the importance of digital literacy and a knowledge-based economy in the Society 5.0 era.
