People uploading self-created content in Ireland, by formal education
The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people with a low (At most lower secondary education), medium (Upper secondary and post-secondary non-tertiary education), and high (Tertiary education) formal education level. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
In 2019, 23 percent of users with low formal education in Ireland uploaded self-created content, this constituted an increase of three percent since 2017. Users with medium or higher education tended to share content online frequently too. According to the survey only 37 percent of people with a medium level of formal education and a mere 46 percent of users with a high degree of formal education share self-created content online. The gap between people with lower and higher formal education was 23 percent.
