In 2023, the proportion of youth and adults in Germany with ICT skills was recorded at a specific value which serves as a baseline. Forecasts indicate a gradual decline from this baseline, with 2024 estimated at 59.16. This downward trend continues to 2028, where the percentage is projected to fall to 55.84. The year-on-year percentage decrease illustrates a steady reduction in ICT skill levels among youth and adults.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential policy implementations aimed at reversing this decline and fostering ICT education and training.
The impact of technological innovations that might require new ICT skills not currently measured in these statistics.
Changes in the labor market dynamics influencing demand for specific ICT skills.
