Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


This table provides data about access and use of the internet by the population of the Caribbean Netherlands aged 15 years and older in private households. The following topics are presented: access to the internet at home, type of internet connections and when persons have last used the internet. For persons who have used the internet in the last three months, the table provides information about the frequency of the use of internet in the last three months, in which location the persons last went online and the kind of internet activities.
In 2017/2018, questions about the use of the internet were only asked to people who have internet access at home, whereas in 2013 these questions were asked to people who have internet access at home and/or elsewhere. The figures on the use of the internet are therefore not comparable between 2013 and 2017/2018.
Breakdowns by sex, age and level of education are presented. These aspects are shown for the Caribbean Netherlands and also for the islands Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba separately.
The research is a sample survey. This means that the figures shown are estimates for which reliability margins apply. These margins are also included in the table.
The Omnibus survey was carried out for the first time on Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius in 2013 during the month of June and the first week of July. For the second time the Omnibus survey was carried out on Bonaire during the months of October and November 2017, and on Saba and St. Eustatius in the period January to March 2018.

Data available from: 2013
