The Digital Economic Opportunity Committee (DEOC) was established to examine the information technology (IT) skills gap and make recommendations to eliminate this gap. DEOC believed the appropriate response to this skills gap is two-fold. The first was upgrading existing workers skills through training. The second was expanding the number of skilled workers by improving the education system and by seeking workers from labor pools not traditionally found in the IT workforce (women, minorities, people with disabilities, and seniors) and from underrepresented communities (rural, inner city, and low income). A conference sponsored by DEOC addressed these groups' greater participation through presentations and panel discussions on enlarging the pool of IT workers; barriers that hinder technical training and access to well-paying IT job opportunities; and what could be done to access, train, and retain more members of these populations for the new digital-age economy workforce. The barriers identified were organized and defined as cultural/social, technological, educational, opportunity/choice, and structural. Possible solutions to provide greater participation in the IT workforce for members of underserved communities were improved education, increased public awareness and information, enhanced motivation and support, fostering of leadership and partnerships, encouragement of employer participation, and government involvement.

The Digital Economic Opportunity Committee (DEOC) was created by the National Policy Association (NPA) in 2001 to confront the critical national shortage of workers with the information technology (IT) skills needed for the information age economy. The committee oversaw an 18-month workforce development research project titled Crossing the Digital Divide to Digital Economic Opportunity. The project established that the IT skills gap crisis has impacted virtually all jobs. The following areas were identified as the most critical areas of long-term IT workforce development needed to build a digital workforce: (1) create lifelong learning systems for workers; (2) improve existing IT instruction; (3) increase worker IT training resources; and (4) enlarge the pool of IT workers. Recommended intermediate actions included improving IT instruction by upgrading current teachers' IT skills, increasing the use of IT in classrooms, and reaching out to nontraditional labor pools to recruit and train IT workers. The following items constitute approximately 70% of the document: profiles of successful IT workforce development programs at 25 U.S. firms; a list of 54 web sites of resource organizations; a brief profile of the NPA; lists of NPA officers and trustees and DEOC members; and a list of 14 selected NPA publications.

This document contains two papers on connections between work and health and policy options for improving the health of working families. "Foreword" (James A. Auerbach) places the two papers in the context of recent research on the connections between work, family, and health. Chapter 1's overview addresses the changing nature of work, the new economy, and recent demographic trends. Chapter 2: The Impact of Work on Employees and Family Health examines the health effects of job security, income, work organization, health and pension benefits, work schedules, workplace stress, occupational health, socioeconomic status across the life course, and family and sick leave. Chapter 3: Policy Options outlines these three strategies: (1) focus on the individual and the job; (2) encourage the business sector to adopt supportive policies; and (3) develop and expand government policy. "Further Implications for Policy" (James A. Auerbach) weighs the effectiveness of work-life programs, family medical leave and paid leave, unemployment insurance, and childcare and elder care in improving the balance between work, family, and health. He concludes by urging policymakers to adopt policies based on the following principles: work redesign; paid leave and family care; reduced hours and flexibility; women in leadership positions, worker voice, community empowerment; and work-family councils.
