The Netherlands is one of the European countries with the highest share of the educated population in the use of internet, computers and software. This is shown by Statistics Netherlands and a study by Eurostat on Thursday.
By 2021, almost 80% of Dutch people aged 16 to 75 had basic digital skills or more. The average in the European Union is 54%.
Digital skills are determined by the number of activities in five areas: information and digital literacy, online communication, computers and online services, privacy and software use.
Together with Finland, the Netherlands has the highest share of people with the fewest basic skills, almost 80%. With this, the Netherlands has almost reached its European digitization goal: by 2030, 80% of the EU population must have at least basic digital skills.
Few people in Bulgaria and Romania have minimum basic skills: 31% and 28% respectively. Poland and Italy are also currently below the EU average.
