Overview[]

The Report urges the incoming government to "seize the opportunity to secure the UK's place as a global digital leader. It noted that 35% of jobs are at risk of being lost through automation within the next 20 years.

The Report outlines three main proposals for the government to think about:

  • Make digital literacy a core subject at school, alongside English and math.
  • View the internet as important as a utility, accessible to all.
  • Put a single "Digital Agenda" at the heart of government.
