Abstract:

The urban-rural digital access gap has been basically eliminated, but the application gap is still significant. The level of digital skills of rural residents is low, the large difference in the ability of urban and rural residents to participate in digital activities and information consumption, has become a short board restricting the whole people to share the benefits of digital economy and realize the modernization of “people”,which may become a new threshold to widen the gap between urban and rural areas. International organizations and some developed countries attach great importance to digital skills cultivation, and have explored a set of digital skills cultivation system covering top-level design and specific measures, which has certain reference significance for improving China’s digital skills cultivation system. In the future, we need to accelerate digital skills cultivation strategy that covering the whole people, build a digital skills cultivation system with the participation of multiple subjects, build relative supporting courses and service system, and focus on special groups to provide effective digital skills training.

Key words: rural residents, digital skills, digitization, skill training
