Access to the internet

Data are based on the survey ‘ICT use among households and individuals’, annually conducted since 2005 by Statistics Netherlands among 12 to 75-year-olds. Since 2012, over-75s are also included in the survey. In 2013, the tablet computer was added to the questionnaire.

In this article, internet users are defined as people who have indicated that the household they belong to has access to the internet. The percentages in the second graph are based on these data and may vary somewhat from the figures presented in the StatLine database, which does not include information on people older than 75.
