Measuring the Digital Transformation
A Roadmap for the Future
Measuring the Digital Transformation: A Roadmap for the Future provides new insights into the state of the digital transformation by mapping indicators across a range of areas – from education and innovation, to trade and economic and social outcomes – against current digital policy issues, as presented in Going Digital: Shaping Policies, Improving Lives. In so doing, it identifies gaps in the current measurement framework, assesses progress made towards filling these gaps and sets-out a forward-looking measurement roadmap. The goal is to expand the evidence base, as a means to lay the ground for more robust policies for growth and well-being in the digital era.

Jobs
ICT specialist occupations and other ICT task-intensive occupations made a positive contribution to employment growth in almost all countries between 2011 and 2017, including in countries where employment fell overall. In Luxembourg, where employment increased by 21% over this period, ICT specialists accounted for one-in-ten new jobs, and a further three jobs were in other ICT task-intensive occupations. In the United States, employment grew by around 10%; one third of these additional jobs were in ICT task-intensive occupations.
