Understanding current digital skills needs and gaps

After a country’s assessment of existing digital skills is complete, thus affording it a greater understanding of the supply of digital skills, it can turn attention to determining its current level of demand for skills. The process of assessing current digital skills requirements will also expose a country’s national skills mismatch. A skills mismatch is defined as the gap between an individual’s job skills and the demands of the job market, including being over-skilled or under-skilled for current market opportunities (OECD, 2016, p. 12). An understanding of the current skills supply and demand will inform a country’s policies aimed at reducing the skills mismatch.
