M33 - Conference paper at an international conference, printed in full

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have recently become essential in shaping employees' career trajectories. The changes brought by intensive digitization condition the growing demand for specific knowledge and competencies that constitute a new literacy paradigm - digital literacy. On the other hand, digitization processes can negatively affect older people and their working performance and employability. Using data from the Eurostat database, which contains international, comparable data, this study investigated the relationship between digital literacy and the employment rate of the older population. In order to define the elements of digital literacy, the level of computer skills, the way of obtaining ICT skills, and the ability to evaluate digital content were considered. The results show that in the age group, 55-64 is a statistically significant influence of the variables describing digital literacy on the employment rate. However, this influence is not proven when testing the population aged 35-44 and 45-54.
