Building a digital dividend

Advanced digital skills are in demand in Thailand, with both workers and employers reporting high levels of satisfaction with these skilled employees.

Some 80% of Thai organisations that employ workers with advanced digital skills report higher annual revenue growth, but 94% of organisations are struggling to hire enough of these talents, according to a study by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Workers in Thailand who use advanced digital skills -- including cloud architecture or software development -- contribute an estimated 930 billion baht to annual GDP. This is attributed to the 57% higher salaries that these workers earn compared with those with a similar education who do not use digital skills at work.
