According to the Digital Skills Indicator, 21% of Europeans have no digital skills, based on the criterion that they are not using the internet.
This figure ranges from 3% in Luxembourg to 44% in Bulgaria and Romania. In eight countries (Portugal, Poland, Croatia, Cyprus, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria and Romania), 30% or more of the population have no digital skills.
Compared to similar statistics, this means an overall increase of 2% of digitally skilled persons in the EU and even more in lagging Member States (for instance, 6% in Romania). This shows that Europeans are acquiring digital skills, albeit at a gentle pace.
