Abstract
Information and Communication Technologies have become integral to personal and professional life; individuals, businesses and governments are increasingly inter-connected.
Digital technologies are also changing our jobs: while a few decades ago digitisation affected only a handful of occupations, now the majority of workers use the Internet as part of their jobs in most OECD countries and digital literacy is predicted to become critically important for the vast majority of workers in the future (Berger and Frey, 2016).
The Warwick Institute for Employment Research was commissioned by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the Department for Education to conduct a review of evidence to address the policy question: ‘What digital skills do adults need to succeed in the workplace now and in the next 10 years? The emerging findings of the review were discussed by the members of the Digital Skills and Inclusion Research Working Group, a group of academic researchers and practitioners with an expertise in the area of Digital Skills and Inclusion. Their comments are included in this evidence brief.
