Abstract
This paper, based on data from the INAPP-INDACO Adults 2020 survey, analyses the sociodemographic characteristics and training behaviours of low-skilled adults, with a particular focus on digital skills. The inequalities faced by this subpopulation, accentuated by the pandemic, risk widening further due to increasing digitalisation. Using binary logistic regression models, the study assesses the likelihood of participation in training programmes or unemployment. The findings highlight the urgency of policies aimed at reducing the digital skills gap, supported by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).
