A recent Eurostat report indicates Latvian youth are falling behind their European counterparts in essential digital skills. Data released on July 15th shows that in 2025, 74.6% of EU citizens aged 16-24 possessed at least basic digital skills. The report does not specify the Latvian percentage, implying it is lower than the EU average. This skills gap could hinder Latvian young people's future employment prospects in an increasingly digital economy. Experts suggest targeted educational programs are needed to address this disparity and enhance digital literacy among Latvian youth. The findings highlight a growing concern about the readiness of the Latvian workforce for the demands of the future job market. Further investigation is needed to determine the extent of the gap and implement effective solutions.
