Abstract	The rapid expansion of digital technologies has transformed the way individuals access information, participate in social activities, acquire knowledge, and engage with educational and professional environments. However, unequal access to digital resources, differences in technological skills, and variations in digital confidence continue to create barriers to achieving inclusive knowledge societies. Digital literacy frameworks have emerged as important approaches for developing essential digital capabilities, improving technology adoption, and promoting equitable participation in digitally connected environments. This study examines digital literacy frameworks for inclusive knowledge societies by analysing their contribution to digital skills development, information accessibility, technology confidence, online participation, and knowledge sharing. The research explores major components of digital literacy including information evaluation, digital communication, cybersecurity awareness, digital content creation, technology adaptation, and lifelong learning capabilities. A simulation-based analytical methodology is developed to compare conventional information access approaches with structured digital literacy frameworks using evaluation indicators including digital competency improvement, inclusion capability, technology adoption readiness, social participation, and knowledge development. The findings demonstrate that digital literacy frameworks significantly contribute to inclusive knowledge societies by strengthening individual digital capabilities, improving access to information resources, and supporting meaningful participation in digital environments. The results indicate that comprehensive digital literacy models provide valuable opportunities for reducing digital divides and promoting equitable knowledge access. However, successful implementation requires addressing challenges related to digital infrastructure limitations, skill gaps, technology affordability, data privacy concerns, and sustainable inclusion strategies.
