For the research sample size Urban Digital Immigrants were chosen, persons born prior to 1985, currently in the working population, up to age of 65, living in four largest urban centres in the Republic of Croatia. Nationally representative probability samples were calculated according to the final population census, distributed in equal proportions men and women, and evenly distributed by the age.

Research results show the connection between the level of the education and the level of digital literacy of the Urban digital Immigrants in the process to the digital era adaptation. New contribution to scientific research has been given on the impact of knowledge, skills and experience gained through predefined educational systems to a future life of the individuals that can be used as a guideline for possible research into the national qualifications frame.
