The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people according to gender. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.

Compared to 2019, four percent more men and three percent more women replied that they used the internet to inform themselves about health and related issues.
