Digital skills gaps and lack of broadband access often coincide. Because systemic inequities cause disparities in everything from internet access to education to income levels, historically marginalized groups like people of color and people with disabilities often underperform in digital skills statistics, just as they are overrepresented in non-adoption statistics. Despite the broad importance of the topic, the United States does not have a clear and defined digital skills framework that sets out benchmark skills and the requirements for achieving them or even a consistent method of measuring current digital skill rates across the country. This absence of data hampers any attempt to effectively and uniformly build our collective digital skills. https://lnkd.in/gyMeXsQH #Digitalinclusion #DigitalEquity #Colorado

#Digitalliteracy is vital for advancing financial inclusion, especially in emerging markets where low digital and financial literacy hinder the adoption of digital financial services. Providers face challenges in delivering actionable information to help individuals and small businesses engage with the formal financial sector. Enhancing digital financial literacy empowers people to use mobile money services, making financial processes simpler, more affordable, and accessible. By improving digital financial literacy, underserved communities can achieve greater financial stability and resilience, ultimately transforming their economic lives.

The lack of reliable, affordable child care in the U.S. makes it hard for working parents—especially women—to go to work, be productive at work, and even stay in the workforce over the long term. This not only hurts their economic futures, but it hurts businesses' bottom line, too. But here’s the good news: Data shows that when employers invest in child care benefits for their employees, it more than pays for itself. Our survey also found that employees would be more likely to stay at their jobs if employers offered better caregiving benefits. https://lnkd.in/d94p5f86

A survey conducted by the National Skills Coalition found that 92% of jobs today require digital skills, but one-third of workers don’t have the foundational digital skills necessary to enter and thrive in today’s jobs. Closing this digital skill divide leads to higher pay, better business outcomes, and benefits to local economies. #digitaldivide #digitalequity
