The present report briefly summarizes findings from the first wave of the ySKILLS survey, administered to a sample of 1790 Italian pupils from 8 schools (3 lower secondary and 5 upper secondary) from the Milan area. It first contextualises the research by reporting on children’s background, focusing on individual and social characteristics. Then, data on children’s daily access to the internet, such as time spent online and devices used are provided. Following, a list of the most and least common online activities children engage in is presented; moving forward we report on Italian children’s digital skills across four dimensions (technological and operational, information and navigation, communication and interaction, content creation and production). Finally, we report on the main risks Italian children are exposed to. When relevant, differences for age and gender are reported.
