“A Leading Digital Nation by 2020: Calculating the cost of delivery online

skills for all”

With Economist Catherine McDonald

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 or c. £50m a year for 5 years
