    Digitalization is a catalyst for the development of an information society, transforming how individuals interact with the world. However, its implementation across countries and regions has been uneven, contributing to social polarization and declining social trust. Among the most pressing concerns related to digitalization and inequality are the conditions of marginalized communities and persistent gender disparities. This study examines whether digitalization is associated with quality of life in marginalized areas and whether these effects differ between men and women. Using a quantitative approach, this study applies an ordinal regression model to data from two surveys conducted in 2021 and 2024 in a marginalized community in Mexico City. The results indicate that digitalization is significantly associated with quality of life: households possessing technological assets were 4.17 times more likely to report improvements in quality of life. Moreover, notable gender differences emerged. Although men’s quality of life increased by a factor of 35.7 in relation to digitalization, no statistically significant association was observed for women. The findings suggest a growing and statistically significant association between digitalization and quality of life in marginalized communities, but its benefits are distributed unevenly across genders. ©The authors ©MDPI.

    Industry 4.0 is here, and it arrived with very promising new technologies that can foster he supply chain management across industries. In this paper we review multiple sources to identify the main characteristics of Digital Twins and Blockchain technologies and how they can work together to fulfill the needs of the supply chain. We identify some advantages and disadvantages that must be properly analyzed before adopting this approach into any business. Many applications behind these new benefits are still in development, but we believe these two technologies have great potential. © Springer Nature
