The national government must craft and implement a digital enablement strategy in order to strengthen the knowledge and skills of Filipino workers and even the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises in the country, an advocacy group said on Saturday, Nov. 26.
Oxales pointed out that enabling Filipino workers and small businesses to digitally adapt is a way of empowering them and preparing them for the future. “Digital skills are life skills. These days, whatever we do in our professional and personal life has a component of basic digital skills – inputting our transaction in the bank, booking a ride through an app, or attending a virtual meeting. It follows that digital skills are a must for anybody who wants to participate in the ever-growing digital economy,” said Oxales.
He argued that the most successful digital economies are the ones which have implemented digital skills strategies for their populations: “It is a long-term effort to ensure that their people are employable, productive, creative and prosperous “The research shows that there will be tens of millions of jobs for people with advanced digital skills in the coming years.
The ADB said that the digital economy in Asia and the Pacific is growing at great speed, with e-commerce expected to reach $2 trillion by 2025.
