Abstract: The impact of digitalization on the labor market is widely discussed by economists. In the study, we analyze the impact of socio-economic and professional characteristics on the development of digital skills of an individual. In the analysis several indicators of ICT skills are used: number of skills by their complexity, specific areas of application and total number of ICT skills. The study is based on the combined data of two sample surveys conducted by Rosstat: Federal Statistical Observation on the Use of Information Technologies and Information and Telecommunication Networks by the Population and Russian Labor Force Survey. The study also provides comparison of digital skills in Russia and with the EU countries. Based on the OLS results, it was revealed that socio-demographic characteristics greatly influence on the development of less complex digital skills which are necessary in everyday life, while the professional characteristics of the employed determine possession of complex digital skills that require special training or education. ICT infrastructure has a great impact at the all types of digital skills.
