1 EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, SWD(2013) 217 final COMMISSION STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT Digital Agenda Scoreboard 2013 CHAPTER 3 EN EN2 3. INTERNET USE AND SKILLS 3.1. Introduction This chapter looks at recent developments in internet usage and skills in the EU27, Iceland, Norway, Croatia and (for data on enterprises) the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. It first looks at progress in achieving the Digital Agenda key performance targets for regular internet use of the average population and of disadvantaged individuals and well as toward the overall Digital Agenda goal of making "Every European Digital". In doing so it also analyses the barriers to achieving these goals and the differences across countries. The chapter then looks at developments digital skills (user skills and ICT professional skills) and patterns in the use of various activities online, as well as the relationship between the two. It also looks in some more detail at developments in the use of egovernment and ecommerce, both by citizens as well as by enterprises. The final section summarises the main results of the analysis contained in the chapter and makes some conclusions for policy in this area Regular and frequent use of the internet in the EU Developments at EU level "Regular" (at least once a week) use of the internet increased by 2 p.p., from 68% in 2011 to 7 in 2012, in the EU27; showing continued steady progress towards the Digital Agenda key performance target for regular use of 75% by Indeed, forward projection of the linear trend in regular internet user in the EU indicates that the key performance target for regular internet use will be met before Frequent (daily) use of the internet grew by 3 p.p. between 2011 and 2012 in the EU27, from 56% to 59%; showing that not only is the proportion of the population going regularly online increasing, but that it is increasingly becoming a daily activity. Figure 74: Regular and frequent use of the internet in the EU27 (% individuals) 9 Regular and frequent use of the internet in the EU27 (% individuals) 8 7 y = x R² = y = x R² = % regular internet users (at least once a week) % frequent internet users (daily use) 1 EU27+ refers to the 27 member countries of the EU plus Iceland, Norway and Croatia (Turkey and Macedonia are not included due to lack of available data). The use of EU aggregated data from Eurostat refers to the 27 Member States. EN 76 EN3 Over the past few years, convergence between regular and frequent use has been rather slow: since 2005 the proportion of the population using the internet weekly, but not daily, has fallen only by around 3 p.p. from around 14% to 11%. It can be expected however that as rates of regular internet use approach saturation, convergence is likely to pick up, as once new users become more experienced they tend to increase their frequency, and variety, of use using the internet more and for more activities. While the internet can do much to mitigate the effects on people's lives of certain economic and social disadvantages, it is true that rates of regular internet use of individuals with such disadvantages (in particular older individuals, the low educated and economically inactive) are often lower than for the average population. Furthermore, this effect is compounded by multiple disadvantages: as the number of disadvantages increases, rates of regular use fall. That is why the Digital Agenda also has a key performance target for the regular internet use of disadvantaged people of 6 by Good progress has been made in the last year towards this target: regular internet use of disadvantaged people rose by 3 p.p. between 2011 and 2012, from 51% to 54%; this trend in the regular use of disadvantaged people indicates that the target for disadvantaged people will also be met by Figure 75: Regular internet use by disadvantaged individulas, by number of 'disadvantages', EU27 10 Regular internet use by disadvantaged individuals, by number of 'disadvantages', EU No disadvantage One disadvantage Two disadvantages Three disadvantages At least one disadvantage Developments across EU27+ countries Across Europe rates of regular internet use are still rather dispersed and the rankings of countries with the highest and lowest rates have changed very little over time. The highest rates of regular internet use are found in the Nordic countries (Iceland (95%), Norway (93%), Sweden (91%), Denmark (89%) and Finland (88%), as well as the Netherlands (91%) and Luxemburg (9), where rates are approaching saturation. At the other end of the scale, countries with the lowest rates of regular internet use (Romania (43%), Bulgaria and Greece (5), and Italy (53%)) have around half of their populations, or more, not using the internet on a regular basis. 2 'Disadvantaged people' are individuals with at least one of the following disadvantages: aged 55-74; low education; unemployed or inactive or retired. EN 77 EN4 Figure 76: Progress in regular internet use across EU27+ (% individuals) Note: Bubble size represents the size of the increase in the rate of regular internet use between 2011 and 2012; Countries are in alphabetical order from left to right. Never-the-less, progress in rates of regular internet use over the last year shows that catch-up is taking place: on average countries with below (EU) average rates of regular internet use have made more progress than those with above average rates. The countries with the some of the largest percentage point increases in regular use between 2011 and 2012, were those with the lowest rates (e.g. Romania (+6 p.p.); Portugal, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Lithuania and Latvia (+4 p.p.); Greece, Spain, Hungary and Croatia (+3 p.p.)). The major exception here is Italy: while Italy made some progress (+2 p.p.) in increasing its rate of regular internet use over the last year, this was less than the average in the EU, and resulting in Italy falling to one of the countries with the lowest rates of regular internet use in the EU27+. However, some countries with above average rates of regular use have also made substantial increases in the last year (e.g. Luxemburg, the UK and France (+4 p.p.). Little or no progress in regular internet use was achieved in the last year in Austria, Belgium, Slovenia, Poland, Malta and Sweden. While in the case of Sweden it is perhaps to be expected given the countries near saturation, in the other five countries this is not the case. The development in measures of dispersion over time shows that convergence in regular internet use is a continuing trend: the difference between the maximum and minimum rates of regular internet use in the EU has fallen from 65 p.p. in 2004 to 48 p.p. in 2012, the standard deviation has fallen from 0.19 to EN 78 EN5 Figure 77: Improvement in convergence of rates of regular internet use across EU Member States Improvement in convergence of rates of regular internet use across EU Member States Stdev Source: Commission Services based on Eurostat data 3.3. Making "Every European Digital" and the main barriers to getting there Progress in getting people online Non-use of the internet is a major policy concern in Europe, indeed the overarching mantra of the Digital Agenda for Europe is "Every European Digital". This is why the Digital Agenda for Europe has a key performance target to halve the number of non-users from 3 (in 2009) to 15% by While the rate of non-users continued to fall in 2012 (by 2 p.p. over 2011) bringing it closer to this target, 22% of the EU population has still never used the internet. Furthermore, across the EU27+, rates of non-use vary substantially, from under 5% in the best performing countries (Iceland, Norway and Sweden) to above 4 in Bulgaria, Greece, and Romania. As with regular internet use, however, good progress in reducing rates of non-use has been made in the last year by the countries with the largest rates of non-users: Portugal (-7 p.p., to 34%), Romania (-6 p.p., to 48%), Cyprus (-5 p.p., to 36%), Bulgaria (-4 p.p., to 42%), Croatia (-4 p.p., to 35%), Greece (-3 p.p., to 42%), Lithuania (-3 p.p., to 3). The major exceptions here are Italy (-2 p.p., to 37%) and Poland (-1 p.p. to 32%), which made more moderate reductions. The Czech Republic, which is an average performer in terms on non-use, also made a substantial reduction in its rate of non-users over the last year (-5 p.p, to 19%). Finally, no reduction in rates of non-users were observed for Sweden and Belgium over this period; mirroring the lack of progress in increasing rates of regular users in these countries.

Across the EU27+ household access is highly correlated with regular use of the internet (with a correlation coefficient of 0.96), confirming the importance of household access for regular use. However, not all households in the EU27 have access to the internet. In 2012, 76% of households had access to the internet, up from 73% in 2011, as such almost a quarter of households were without access. Figure 79: Correlation between household access to the internet and regular use of the internet in 2012 (% individuals) 10 Correlation between household access and regular internet use 9 y = x R² = Source: Commission services based on Eurostat data Understanding the barriers to household access to the internet is therefore important for policy towards the Digital Agenda goals on internet use. Evidence on barriers shows that as internet use increases, an increasing proportion of those who remain as non-users say that they don't need it (47% in 2012), and/or do not have the necessary skills (35% in 2012). Access (24% in 2012) and equipment (26% in 2006) costs are the next most important factors and their importance has changed little over time. Access elsewhere has been declining in importance EN 80 EN7 and other factors such as privacy and security concerns and no broadband availability are less mentioned. Physical disability remains a less mentioned barrier in the overall population; however, the share of the disabled in the population is also low. A declared lack of interest in the internet by non-users could relate to a number of things: lack of knowledge and skills, a genuine lack of interest, lack of an appropriate offer or not wanting to report financial reasons or lacking skills. The catch-all nature of this choice could help explain the importance of this reason. Figure 80: Barriers to internet access at home in the EU (% households without internet access) 5 Barriers to internet access at home in the EU27 (% households without internet access) 45% 4 35% 3 25% 2 15% 1 5% Not needed Lack of skills Equipment costs Access costs Access elsewhere Other reasons Privacy or security concerns Physical disability No broadband Across the EU 27+ countries the three main factors remain lack of interest, lack of skills and cost. However, there is some variation in the importance of these three reasons. In the majority of countries, lack of interest is an important factor. However, lack of skills is also very important in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Finland, Hungary, Malta, Portugal, Slovenia and Slovakia. Costs are particularly important as a reason in Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Estonia, France, Hungary, Portugal, Romania and Slovenia. Generally speaking, it can be said that for countries with relatively higher rates of non-users all three reasons are important, while for countries with less non-users the overriding factor becomes lack of interest. EN 81 EN8 Figure 81: Main barriers to internet access at home in EU27+ countries (% households without internet access) 8 Reasons for not having internet access at home across countries: Lack of Skills 9 Reasons for not having internet access at home across countries: Lack of interest EE PT FI SI EL CY SK MT BG HU PL IT CZ IE EU RO SE DE ES DK AT FR BE LV HR UK LT NL AT NL FI SI CZ ES HR DE LT HU SE EE PT PL SK DK LU MT LV UK CY EU BG BE IE EL RO IT FR 8 Reasons for not having internet access at home across countries: Access and/or equipment costs EE SI HU RO PT FR BG BE DE HR PL ES FI LV EU CZ CY SK UK LT EL AT IE IT NL MT DK Evidence on barriers suggests that getting the remaining part of the population that is offline to become regular internet users, policy increasingly needs to focus on two main issues: on the one hand, tackling the increasing importance of lack of skills and awareness among nonusers by for example implementing awareness raising and skills development initiatives, and, on the other, enabling the persistent proportion of non-users for which financial constraints are an issue to overcome them, such as by providing vouchers or tax incentives to low income non-user households for their first computer and/or internet connection. Furthermore, in countries where costs for access are still relatively high, policy should be implemented to provide affordable access to all: this seems of particular importance in Hungary, Slovenia and Portugal where not only are average prices of popular telecoms bundles high but also countries were non-users complain the most about high costs Digital skills in the EU ICT user skills Digital skills are fundamental to an effective use of ICT. As such every year the Commission collects data on the digital skills of the EU population through its survey of ICT use by individuals and households. Digital skills are measured by asking individuals if they have ever performed certain computer and/or internet related activities. Low, medium and high skills are then calculated by whether individuals have performed 1 or 2, 3 or 4, or 5 or 6 of the listed internet or computer activities. In 2012, data were collected on computer skills only. In the EU, 67% of individuals had some level of computer skills, unchanged from 2011: 26% of individuals had high skills (-1 p.p. over 2011), 25% medium skills (unchanged) and 16% EN 82 EN9 low skills (+2 p.p.). 33% had none of the defined skills. As such almost 5 of the EU population still has little or no computer skills (low skills + none of the defined skills 3 ). While no data on internet skills is available for 2012, data from 2011 show that similar to computer skills around 7 of the population (73%) have internet skills. However, the distribution of skills is more shifted towards low (3) and medium (32%): only 11% had high level skills. Given the growing necessity for digital skills in Europe in particular, the projected 9 of jobs that will soon require some digital skills - it seems much needs to be done to improve the digital skills levels of EU citizens, and the perception of more than half of the labour force that their current digital skills are not sufficient were they to look for another job. Figure 82: Low, Medium and High computer skills in EU (% individuals) Low, Medium and High computer skills in EU (% individuals) Low skills 16% None of the Skills defined 33% Medium skills 25% High skills 26% Figure 83: Low, Medium and High computer skills in EU27+ countries 2012 (% individuals) 10 Low, Medium and High computer skills in EU27+ countries 2012 (% individuals) NO IS LU FI DK NL SE AT FR SK DE BE HU UK ES CZ EU IE EE LV SI PT MT LT HR IT CY PL EL BG RO Low skills Medium skills High skills 3 "None of the defined skills" refers to the proportion of individuals questioned that do not report having carried out any of the six computer related activities asked about or that answered having never used a computer. EN 83 EN10 Across the EU 27+ countries rates of skills vary from 35% in Romania to around 9 in Norway and Iceland. Furthermore, as rates of skills among the population increase so the skills distribution shifts towards higher skills. This can be seen most clearly by taking the example of a high skilled country like Luxemburg and comparing the skills distribution to that of a lower skilled country like Bulgaria. Data for these two countries show that while both countries have similar rates of low skilled individuals, Luxemburg has around twice as many medium skilled and three times as many high skilled individuals as Bulgaria. A similar pattern can be seen for other countries. Figure 84: Low, Medium and High computer skills in a high skilled (LU) and Low skilled (BG) country 2012 (% individuals) 45% Low, Medium and High computer skills in a high skilled (LU) and Low skilled (BG) country 2012 (% individuals) 4 35% 3 25% 2 15% 1 5% Skills of ICT professionals 4 Low skills Medium skills High skills BG LU The EU is also in need of highly skilled ICT professionals. Evidence shows that there is a growing gap emerging in the supply and demand of ICT professionals in the EU. While ICT professional employment has grown by an average 3% over the last 10 years, graduate numbers have fallen. As a result, it has been projected that by 2015 there may be as many as 900,000 unfilled vacancies for ICT professionals in the EU. This growing gap is of major concern to European competitiveness, not only of the ICT sector itself, but for the economy as a whole given the growing integration of ICT across the economy. 4 ICT specialists are those who have ICT as their main job and hence are capable of dealing with a wide range of tasks concerning ICT systems. EN 84 EN11 Figure 85: Actual and projected development in digital jobs in the EU: vacancy and graduate numbers 1,000, ,000 Actual and projected development in digital jobs in the EU: vacancy and graduate numbers *Surveys and forecasts assuming moderate growth in GDP and ICT investment.

Only ICT graduates are considered. Source: Empirica These trends are supported by recent Eurostat evidence on the employment and recruitment of ICT specialist in the EU. This evidence shows that, in 2012, one in five EU enterprises employed ICT specialists (21%). While 7 of enterprises in the information and communication sector employed ICT specialists, in other sectors the figure ranges from 12% (in construction) to 34% (for professional, scientific and technical activities). As well as employing ICT specialists, the information and communication sectors (51% in 2011) dominated the proportion of EU enterprises recruiting them. However, demand for ICT specialists at lower levels was spread across enterprises in the rest of the economy. The percentage of EU enterprises other than in information and communication recruiting ICT specialists in 2011 ranged from 3% of enterprises in construction, to 13% in professional, scientific and technical activities. Figure 86: Enterprises employing, recruiting and having hard to fill vacancies for ICT specialists, by economic activity, EU27 Enterprises employing, recruiting and having hard to fill vacancies for ICT specialists, by economic activity, EU27 Information and communication Professional, scientific and technical activities Real estate activities Electricity, gas, steam, air conditioning and water supply Manufacturing Wholesale and retail trade; repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles Administrative and support service activities Accommodation Transportation and storage Construction Employ ICT/IT specialists Recruited/tried to recruit Hard-to-fill vacancies On average, 8% of EU enterprises recruited or tried to recruit ICT specialists in 2011, while 3% reported having hard-to-fill vacancies for jobs requiring persons with relevant ICT skills. As such, around 4 of enterprises that recruited or tried to recruit ICT specialists in 2011, EN 85 EN12 reported difficulties in filling vacancies.enterprises in all countries reported difficulties in recruiting ICT specialists. For those that did recruit specialists in 2011, the ratio of enterprises that reported hard-to-fill vacancies over those that did not report difficulties in recruitment was highest for Ireland, Luxembourg, Austria and Sweden. To a certain extent internal training can replace the need to hire in external staff with certain ICT skills. Some 9% of EU enterprises provided their ICT specialists with training to upgrade their ICT skills in % provided training for other staff to develop their ICT skills.

Looking at the types of activities undertaken, remains the most popular activity on the internet with 66% of individuals reporting using it in the last three months. This is an increase over 2010 (last available data) of 5 p.p. This is closely followed by looking for information about goods and services (62%, +5 p.p. over 2011) and then by reading online news or newspapers (45%, +5 p.p. over 2011). The next most popular activities are internet banking (4, +3 p.p. over 2011), posting messages to social media sites or instant messaging (4, +8 p.p. over 2010 last available data), using travel and accommodation services (36%, -3 p.p. over 2011), buying/ordering goods or services (35%, +1 p.p. over 2011), playing /downloading games, images, films or music (35%, +7p.p. over 2010) and listening to web radio and/or watching web TV (33%, +7p.p. over 2010 last available data). The majority of these activities have also witnessed 5 https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/grand-coalition-digital-jobs-0 6 egovernment and ecommerce are treated separately below. EN 86 EN13 strong growth over the last year or two, with the exception of travel an accommodation services. Less popular activities include: uploading self-created content (26%, +4 p.p. over 2010), telephoning or video calls (26%, +6 p.p. over 2011), selling goods or services (16%, -1 p.p. over 2011), playing networked games with other persons (1), making a doctor's appointment (8%) and creating websites or blogs (6%). 7 Never-the-less, many of these activities too have seen strong growth over the last couple of years, indicating that activity online is becoming more diverse as it develops.

Data for the period 2009 to 2012, on the number of activities carried out online by internet users, shows that the mean number of activities undertaken out of a selected group of 12 activities 8 - has grown continuously, from 5.1 in 2009 to 6.1 in This confirms the intuition that as people become more experienced and confident with internet use, and life online develops; users not only increase their frequency of use but also become increasingly diversified in their activities. 7 No comparison data are available for the last three activities. 8 The diversification index is based on 12 activities for which data are available every year since The index is calculated individuals having used the internet during last 3 months, and is computed simply as the number of activities realised out of the 12 selected. The list include: sending/receiving s, browsing for information about goods and services, reading online newspapers/news, looking for information on travel/accommodation services, posting messages to social media, interaction with public authorities, internet banking, telephoning or video calls, selling goods or services, purchases of content (films, music, software), purchase of goods, purchase of services. EN 87 EN14 Figure 89: Diversification of internet activities in the EU27 (% internet users) 14% Diversification of internet activities in the EU27 (% internet users) 12% 1 8% 6% 4% 2% (average=5,1) 2010 (average=5,5) 2011 (average=5,9) 2012 (average=6,1) Looking across the EU27+ countries shows that diversification of activities varies substantially from country to country While in 2012 internet users from Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Romania and Croatia were performing on average only 4-5 activities, those from Scandinavia and the Netherlands were performing almost double the number: 7-8 activities on average, out of the selected twelve. There appears to be no relationship between a country's progression in the number of internet users and progression in diversification of activities. Across the EU27+ there has been little variation in the progression of diversification of activities over time. Most countries have increased by around 1.0 between 2009 and Exceptions are Sweden, Slovakia and Bulgaria (1.5) which have moved a bit faster and Finland, France, Italy, Luxemburg, Estonia, Portugal, Spain, Lithuania, Austria and Belgium (0.5) which have moved slower. For some countries it is harder to say because micro-data are available only for the last two years: Croatia, Germany and the UK; although the latter looks like it has fast progression, at least since As such we can estimate that while the leading countries such as Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland are around four and half years ahead of the EU average, the internet users of countries such as Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Greece and Croatia are four and a half or more years behind the average in terms of diversification of their online behaviour.

Looking first at the most popular activities across Europe; while is used by above 8 of the population in Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, Luxemburg, Sweden, Denmark and Finland, it is used by less than half the population in Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Italy and Croatia. Finding information about goods and services is also above 8 in Iceland, Norway, Luxemburg, Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark and Finland; while it is below 5 in Romania, Bulgaria, Italy, Greece and Poland. Of other relatively popular activities, Internet banking is carried out by around 8 of the population or more in Norway, Iceland, Finland, the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden; however, rates of below 1 are found in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece; in Italy, Croatia and Cyprus rates are just above 2. 8 of the population or above in Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland also read online news, whereas it is only around a third of the population in six countries (Poland, Italy, France, Ireland, Romania and Bulgaria). Use of social media and/or instant messaging is most popular in Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway, the UK and Sweden, where it is above 5; while it is at or below 3 in Romania, the Czech Republic, Italy and Bulgaria. Use of travel and accommodation services is over 5 in Finland, Luxemburg, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, Germany and the Netherlands; however it is around 1 in Bulgaria, Romania, Latvia and Poland. Playing/downloading games, images, films or music is most popular in Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Norway, Iceland, Denmark and Belgium (above 5); while it is less popular in Ireland, Italy and Romania (around 2). Finally, web radio and web TV are popular in Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland (around and above 5), but are significantly less so in Italy and Romania (about 2). EN 89 EN16 Of the less popular activities, uploading self-created content is most popular in Iceland, the Netherlands and Denmark (above 4); whereas it is at or below 2 in a number of countries (Belgium, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Malta). Use of the internet for telephoning and video calls is popular a number of countries (Iceland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia, Denmark, Bulgaria and the Czech Repbulic) where 4 or more of individuals engage in these activities. However, lowest rates of use are just under 2 of the populations in Italy Portugal and Slovenia. Selling goods and services over the internet by individuals is most popular in Slovenia, France and Norway; where a quarter to a third of the population participates in such activities; less than 5% of the populations of Cyprus, Romania, Greece, Portugal, Latvia and Lithuania do so. Playing networked games with other persons is as high as 2 and more in Denmark and Iceland and between 15 and 2 for in Croatia, Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands. In a majority of countries, however, it is around 1 or less. While making an appointment with a practitioner is an internet activity carried out by almost 3 of people in Denmark, 26% in Finland and 22% in Spain, for the majority of the countries the rate is at or below 5%. Finally, creating websites or blogs is most popular in the Netherlands, Iceland, Hungary, Denmark, Norway, Luxemburg and Sweden (10-15%), however the lowest rates are only around 2-4% (Cyprus, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Romania and Ireland).

Quite high correlations are also found between regular use of the internet and use of travel and accommodation services (0.85), playing/downloading games, images, films or music (0.82), posting messages to social media sites or instant messaging (0.78), selling goods and services (0.74), reading/downloading online newspapers/news (0.71) and listening to web radios and/or watching web TV (0.69). However, the level of regular internet use is not the only factor determining use of activities across countries, as shown by a number of outlier countries for certain activities. The main outliers are Estonia and Latvia, which both have higher rates of use of internet banking than would be expected given their rates of regular internet use. Also Slovenia and France have relatively high rates of selling online; while Latvia, Lithuania and Cyprus in particular have relatively low rates of selling online. Uploading self-created content (0.63), Playing networked games with others (0.50), making an appointment with a practitioner (0.50) and telephoning and video calls (0.41) are less correlated with regular internet use, showing that in some countries these activities are undertaken by relatively large numbers of individuals, despite them,not having the highest rates of internet users and vice versa. Good examples here are the popularity of making appointments with practitioners in Spain, of uploading and sharing self-created content in Hungary, of playing networked games with others in Croatia and of using the internet for telephoning and video calls in Bulgaria Activities and skills levels Data on activities by skills level (computer skills) 9 shows that engagement in most activities is strongly skills dependent. Only highly popular activities such as and finding information about goods and services, where most users are active and the least popular activities, like playing networked games, creating websites or blogs, making an appointment with a practitioner and selling goods or services, where few individuals engage in the activities, show lower variation in rates of use by skills level. For , the most popular activity online, for example the rate of use of highly skilled individuals is 96%, compared to 76% for low skilled individuals, a 20 p.p. difference. For 9 For the definition of levels of skills, see part EN 92 EN19 creating websites or blogs, one of the least popular activities, for example the rate of use of highly skilled individuals is 17%, compared to 2% for low skilled individuals, a 15 p.p. difference. Most other activities are more skills dependent. For most activities there is around a 30 p.p. gap between the rate of use of highly skilled and low skilled individuals; ranging from 29 p.p. for uploading self-created content to 35 p.p. for reading/down loading newspapers/news and listening to web radios and/or watching web TV.

Usage increased in all countries, except the Czech Republic (-12 p.p.) 10, Slovakia (-6 p.p.) and Italy (-3 p.p.). Large increases in the use of egovernment services by citizens were recorded for Romania (+24 p.p.), Croatia (+8 p.p.) and Greece (+7 p.p.). Strong performance over the last year in these countries shows that catch-up of lagging countries is taking place. However, some of the top users have also seen substantial increases in the last year; like Sweden (+ 5 p.p. to 78%), France (+5 p.p. to 61%) and the Netherlands (+5 p.p. to 67%) for example. 10 The Czech Republic experienced a sudden doubling in the share of citizens using egovernment services in 2011, from 23% in 2010 to 42% in This relates to the fact that in 2011 there was a census in the Czech Republic and it was (for the first time) possible to fill in the census form on-line.

The importance of other named reasons, such as security concerns (1), lack of skills (8%), lack of supply (4%), and quality of supply (2%), remained largely unchanged. Interestingly, lack of need has increased in importance despite an unchanged reference population 11. If we take into consideration only citizens that actually needed to contact the public administrations (and who were also internet users), then the proportion of egovernment users raises to 53% of potential users 12 for the EU27 in The 11 The percentage of internet users in the last 12 months that did not submit forms through the internet, which was equal to 53% of the population in both 2011 & This percentage is defined as the % of population that sent completed forms divided by that percentage plus percentage of internet users in the last 12 months that didn't have to submit completed forms EN 94 EN View more
