Abstract
This chapter contextualizes the digitalization process and the digital skills concept. It discusses the very process of technology diffusion, emphasizing several unique features of digital technologies that make them globally available. Next, it turns to the digital skills concept, clarifying how and why they reshape the societal and economic landscape. It also briefly addresses the digital divide and skill-biased technological change. The provided conceptual considerations are supported by numerical evidence regarding digital technologies and digital skills in Europe in the time span between 1980 and 2021. Using the logistic growth model, it draws digital diffusion trajectories for selected ICT indicators; it also examines the cross-country digital inequalities considering not only access to and use of ICT but also in terms of digital skills.
