In 2023, the proportion of youth and adults with ICT skills in Brazil stands as the baseline for comparing subsequent years. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts show a declining trend in this metric, with a decrease from 18.39% in 2024 to 17.18% in 2028. This represents an annual decline of approximately 3.53% over the five years. Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent downward trend, highlighting challenges in ICT skill acquisition in the country. These projections suggest an urgent need for interventions to enhance digital literacy.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Policy initiatives aimed at improving digital education infrastructure.
- Partnerships between tech companies and educational institutions to bridge skills gaps.
- Increasing demand for ICT skills in the job market potentially reversing the forecasted decline.
- Emerging technologies that require new skill sets, influencing curriculum updates.
