The Daily, Monday, March 26, 2001. Internet use The Daily. The GSS found that people who use the Internet tend to be younger, and to have higher incomes and more education than those who don't.
Men use the Internet more than women.
In addition, francophones were less likely to use the Internet than anglophones, while people living in rural Canada were less likely than urban dwellers to go on-line. About three-quarters of the population felt that access to the Internet should be universal. However, people differed on who should be responsible for removing the barriers. This is the first time that Statistics Canada has collected detailed information on individual use of technology. Data from this cycle complement other Statistics Canada surveys on this topic, particularly the annual Household Internet Use Survey.
