Internet use in Finland

The survey describes households' use of information and communications technology (ICT) and Internet connections. The survey examines how the population uses computers and other equipment, and purposes and frequency of Internet use. A similar survey is carried out in all EU countries.
⁠
⁠The survey also includes questions for persons who do not use the Internet.

The results of the survey produce statistics that are available to all of us – and support decisions affecting society.
