Overall DSGI Global Rankings
The DSGI 2021 reveals that most economies are failing to bridge the digital skills divide, the gap between the demand for digital skills—for a given level of industrial development—and the capacity of economies’ policymakers to respond to the talent deficit, and education institutions and corporate trainers to deliver the needed skills.
Singapore scored consistently well across most of the DGSI pillars. Its K12 and higher education systems rank among the best in the world. Singapore’s digital focus, reflected in the number of articles published on digital subjects (per ‘000 postgraduates), is another key strength. The economy’s well-funded lifelong learning entitlement, galvanized by the SkillsFuture Initiative since 2015-16, is second to none globally. The city-state’s digital competitiveness is rivaled only by that of the US.
