Poor digital skills

This indicator provides information on the population's skills in information and communication technology. People with poor digital skills find it harder to use the digital resources they need in both their private and professional lives efficiently. 

From an integration perspective, the aim is to reduce the share of people with poor digital skills.

Key findings: The share of people with poor digital skills is higher in the population with a migration background than in the population without such a background. Furthermore, the first generation is more likely to have poor digital skills than the second or subsequent generations.

Note: Internet users' digital skills level varies greatly by age, with younger people generally having better digital skills than older people. The population with a migration background is younger than that without (average age of people aged 15 and over: 45 and 50, respectively). This means that when comparing the same age groups from each population, the gaps are more pronounced.
