We assume that social media use contributes to employability and sociality and media literacy complements a basic set of skills. Especially the low skilled and low educated lack media literacy, which contributes to their precarious situation and increases a participation gap. A database search for peer reviewed articles covering effective elements of media literacy did not return any useful results. The retrieved literature was scarce and media literacy concepts were inconclusive, conflated or ambivalent. We then broadened our scope, using a snow ball technique and Harzing’s Publish and Perish for control purposes. This approach lead to literature indicating that self-presentation and self-profiling are important literacy practices, involving knowledge and skills related to participation in social and economic contexts and understanding of the relations between sociality, employability and networks. Media literacy is best approached as hands-on, situated and experiential, taught in a democratic and critical fashion and related to the attitudes and perspective of the low educated and the low skilled. There is however no clear answer what the complementary role of informal learning is and how literacy related skills and knowledge demanded for lifelong learning may change during the life course. It is also important that policies focussing on inclusion and participation broaden their perspective beyond individualistic notions and, consider the influence of structuralizing mechanisms that create inequality and extend their explanations beyond those framed by economic theories, models and categories.

低技能和低学历者的参与观点：媒体素养如何影响低技能和低学历者的社会和经济参与？

我们假设社交媒体的使用有助于就业能力和社交性，而媒体素养则补充了一套基本技能。尤其是低技能和低学历的人缺乏媒体素养，这导致他们的处境不稳定并扩大了参与差距。在数据库中搜索涵盖媒体素养有效要素的同行评审文章，未获得任何有用的结果。检索到的文献稀少，媒体素养概念尚无定论，混淆或矛盾。然后，我们使用雪球技术和Harzing的Publish and Perish进行控制，从而扩大了我们的范围。这种方法导致文献表明自我表现和自我描述是重要的扫盲实践，涉及与参与社会和经济环境有关的知识和技能，以及对社会性，就业能力和网络之间关系的理解。最好以民主，批判的方式来实践，定位和体验媒体素养，并与低学历和低技能的态度和观点相关。但是，尚无明确答案，非正式学习的补充作用是什么，终身学习所需的与扫盲相关的技能和知识在生活过程中可能会如何变化。同样重要的是，着眼于包容性和参与性的政策应将其视野扩大到个人主义概念之外，并考虑造成不平等并将其解释范围扩大到经济理论框架之外的结构化机制的影响，型号和类别。（DIPF /原件）
