3.3.2. Internet user skills

Internet skills are analysed based on three indicators. These are the same indicators from the sub-dimension 2.a of the DESI, which are part of the second dimension (human capital). Table 13 presents the values and positions of all of them.

Indicators of women's Internet use skills show mixed results in relation to the EU-28 average and do not place the Basque Country in leading positions, but rather in intermediate or distant ones.

In the first indicator (at least basic digital skills), the Basque Country has a higher value than the EU-28 average and is placed in a favourable position. In the following indicator, relating to a more sophisticated level of skills, the difference with the EU-28 average is reduced but the relative position moves away from the top of the ranking. The third indicator relates more precisely to specific tasks when using software. In this case, the position of the Basque Country is at the bottom of the ranking and its value is significantly below the EU-28 average.
