Global digital skills gap: current trends and future orientations (2021)

The overarching objective of this study, published by RAND Europe, was to conduct a framework study to examine evidence related to different aspects of the current digital skills environment and to focus in particular on digital skills gaps.

The paper seeks to better understand whether and why the digital skills gap is widening, as well as its implications for digital and social inequalities and what different stakeholders are doing in response.

To this end, an analysis of the key trends leading to the lack of digital skills at global or macro level has been carried out; and some practical steps taken to address this challenge and potentially “removing” the digital skills gap were also explored.
