Abstract

Data skills are necessary for realising for the data revolution in development, as reflected in the attention devoted to activities increasing data and statistical literacy and data communication at the UN World Data Forum. The United Nations’ A World That Counts report calls for academia to provide leadership on capacity building efforts to strengthen data and statistical skills. Indeed, results from a large scale survey conducted in Asia, Europe and the US found that only 21% of 16-24 year olds are data literate, highlighting that education providers have much work to do in enhancing training in this area.
