December 2013

In 2012/13, 61% of people aged 60-69 had access to the internet, compared with only 10% in 2001/2? For people aged 70 or over, access to the internet rose from 3% in 2001/2 to 28% in 2012/12. These figures come from A Profile of Older People in Northern Ireland – 2013 update (OMFDFM, 2013). CARDI published a report in 2013 looking at e-government and older people – click here to see a summary of this report.
