The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people of different age groups. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
In 2019, on average 28 percent of internet users in the European Union (EU-27) between 16 and 24 responded that they used the internet to search or apply for jobs. In Sweden the share among this age group was significantly higher than in other European countries, amounting to 55 percent. Other Scandinavian countries had similarly high shares. Least likely to use the internet to search and apply for jobs were people aged between 55 and 64 years old. Only three percent in Poland and Greece used the internet in this way.
