Digital Skills: Socioeconomic Differences and Social Inequality

Short Description: The digitalization of labor accelerates the demand for skills in connection with new technologies. This module measures job-relevant digital skills, and explores their socioeconomic and demographic determinants. Moreover, it investigates selfperceived levels of digital skills relative to the general population, and perceptions on personal consequences of labor digitalization.

Methodological Details: Respondents were asked to assess a set of items regarding digital skills, e.g. “I know how to adjust privacy settings” or “What do you estimate: What percentage of individuals of the German population have weaker digital skills than you?”.
