Is the current policy at the level of the European Union (EU) adequate to promote youth's digital skills and wellbeing in the digital environment? Which action does the evidence suggest is needed to improve the digital skills of European children? In this report we offer EU policymakers key action points on how to best ensure and promote children's digital skills based on ySKILLS results. This report presents the analysis carried out in Task 7.4 within Work Package 7 of the ySKILLS project. It aims to translate the ySKILLS policy recommendations formulated within Task 7.3 into action points addressed to EU policymakers. The research was carried out in three stages. The first stage involved mapping and describing the existing EU framework, which holds potential relevance for ySKILLS. This comprehensive analysis encompassed four key facets: (1) delineating the competences of the EU; (2) scrutinising the existing EU policies, (3) assessing EU legislation, and (4) identifying the EU bodies responsible for providing advice, taking measures or supervising matters in relation to youth's digital skills and wellbeing in the digital age. Second, the policy recommendations derived from ySKILLS findings in Task 7.3 were mapped onto the EU framework and a gap analysis was carried out. In the third stage, specific action points were formulated to implement the ySKILLS recommendations to advance youth's digital skills and wellbeing in the digital age.
