Digital technologies have created new opportunities to advance human development, but at the same time pose significant challenges to achieving inclusive and equitable development. Adopting a human-centered perspective, the Communist Party and State of Vietnam have undertaken various efforts to foster human development. Drawing on the synthesis of documents, secondary data, and primary data analysis, this article examines digital equity as an essential dimension of human development in the digital age, and analyzes the current state of digital inequality among vulnerable social groups in Vietnam.The article concludes with recommendations for promoting digital equity as a prerequisite for advancing human development in the digital era.
