Managing tomorrow's digital skills - what conclusions can we draw from international comparative indicators?
This report looks at the conditions impacting the development of digital skills of a population based on international indicators of the levels of skills amongst children and adults. It is based on five international comparative surveys, the results of which reveal a sample group of twelve countries whose population have particularly high levels of digital skills. Building on these results, this rapport seeks to answer two questions: what has enabled these States to rise to the top of the rankings in digital skills, and what can other countries to do catch up?
It also shows that to achieve the best conditions for the development of digital skills, public authorities must pursue efforts in two areas: policies that create a supportive framework, and sectoral policies for basic and further training. To ensure that these policies are as relevant as possible, they must be the result of collaboration between government, educational and training institutions, and businesses.
