Abstract

As regarded as the age of Industry 4.0, digital skills have emerged as a more significant aspect of daily life. Equipping oneself with adequate digital skills has become increasingly essential across domains such as employment, education, and business. Especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for digital skills stands out as an even more prominent asset, as remote work and online learning have become the new norm. Various entities such as governments, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and corporations are adapting to this advancing era by conducting new studies and designing new frameworks for digital literacy to address existing skill gaps. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of these frameworks and studies to identify commonalities and differences between them. This review also explores best practices, advantages, challenges, and limitations of existing studies and frameworks to propose potential improvements or new approaches to tackle digital skill gap issues and address evolving digital skill requirements more efficiently in a post-COVID-19 world.
