Italy last in digital, looking for women


Italy is for sure not a digital country. According to the Digital Economy and Society Index 2015, Italy ranks 25th out of 28. Even if Italy had made progress in the use of technologies for business in the last year, Italy has an overall score of 0.36.

Furthermore, graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics degrees, between 20 and 29 years old, are only 1.3 % in our country even if these skills are more and more required in jobs . However , Digital represents one of the few sectors where the demand of workers is increasing: it is estimated that by 2020 there will be 900 thousands vacancies in the EU. A positive point comes from the use of e-business solutions where Italy ranks top positions. In the use of cloud solutions Italy is 5th. Contrary to the Digital Public Services where the provision of pre-filled forms in online services has actually decreased in the last year , from 48% to 41%. While in the Open data Italy is 9th.
