Conclusions

A Leading Digital Nation by 2020 With current efforts there will still be 6.2m people in 2020 without basic online skills. The total investment required to equip 100% of the UK adult population with the Basic Online Skills they need to regularly use the internet for themselves by 2020 is £875 million. We suggest investment might be split equally between Government; the private sector, and the voluntary and community sector. The investment required to ensure a nation with 100% Basic Online Skills will be £292 million for each sector.

6.2 million people left behind in 2020 and we know who they will be

5% of 16-64s left to reach In 2020 if carry on at pace and impact of present time (in UK)

PEOPLE make good things happen People becoming a volunteer when he’s 93 years old as his mates aren’t getting the benefits of the web People helping job seekers to look for work online when they’ve not had a job for 10 years People helping patients to use digital in the ward and take it home with them
