Digital competence of the information society in the aspect of social security

Abstract

Objectives The purpose of the digital competency survey is to assess the skills, knowledge and attitudes of the information society in the use of digital technologies and the development of these skills. As a result of the survey, the level of digital competence of the public was determined, and training needs and activities were identified to increase digital knowledge and skills in order to improve quality of life, achieve better performance at work and increase competitiveness in the labor market. Material and methods The purpose of the survey is to assess the digital skills, knowledge and attitudes of the information society and the development of these skills. The survey determines the level of digital competence of the public and identifies training needs and activities to increase digital knowledge and skills to improve quality of life. Results The survey's conclusions point to the need for increased education and awareness of online security in organizations, especially in the areas of privacy and data security. It is therefore worth betting on developing users' knowledge of online security. Conclusions Communication and information: respondents gained more experience and were more aware of the benefits of digital competence in these areas. Creativity: although some improvement was observed in this area, there is still a significant gap between current and expected levels of competence. Digital security: this area deserves special attention, as the current level of competence has declined, despite rising expectations. Troubleshooting: despite a slight increase in current competencies in 2021, a decline in 2022 indicates that respondents may be struggling to solve problems in a digital context.
