Digitization is one of the key development priorities for the European Union, which also
applies to three Baltic States: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the Baltic States in the fields of connectivity, digital technology use and e-government. Unfortunately, the progress was different in each of the Baltic States, and there were also serious shortcomings in all the states, e.g. concerning human capital. However, unlike Lithuania, the business sectors of Latvia and Estonia still lagged behind the EU average not only in terms of digital technology integration but also in terms of human capital. Almost half of the population still lacked basic digital skills, and the number of trained ICT professionals lagged behind the growing demand in the labor market. Among all the fields, the Baltic States achieved the best performance in e-government. The progress was driven by the increasing number of citizens actively using e-government services and the increasing availability of auto-completed forms and open data. These problems have been analyzed in the paper by employing the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) index. The European Commission has introduced the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI) since 2014 to yearly evaluate the evolution of five key dimensions of the Digital Economy in EU member states. Each dimension reflects a relevant policy area: Connectivity, Human Capital, Use of Internet (citizens), Integration of Digital Technology (businesses), and Digital Public Services. European Commission data for the period 2014-2019 were used for the analysis. |
