What is the Minimum Digital Living Standard and how can understanding it help us close the workforce digital skills gap?
Did you know that c.3.7 million households with children (c.45%) don’t meet the Minimum Digital Living Standard (MDLS)? They’re missing the essentials that people need to be included and participate in our digital society.
But what does this mean for industry and how can you use the MDLS to inform how you help your colleagues gain the digital skills they need for our digital future?
In this session, Professor Simeon Yates (University of Liverpool) and Dr Emma Stone (Good Things Foundation) unpicked their research on the MDLS for FutureDotNow and our members, guided by Marks and Spencer Principal Strategist Conor Rose.
