Every year, INSEE conducts a survey of tens of thousands of households to measure household equipment, usage and frequency of use, and the use of government and e-commerce services.
This survey, coordinated by Eurostat, is part of the regulation n°808/2004 of 21 April 2004 concerning the implementation of the eEurope 2005 ICT Action Plan. Each Member State has to provide Eurostat with about 130 indicators. The questionnaire is developed by Eurostat, the statistical offices and DG Connect.
The objective of the survey is to collect indicators describing household equipment and usage in the area of new technologies (computers, Internet, mobile telephony). As far as equipment is concerned, the aim is to measure computer equipment and Internet access. For the uses, it is a question of measuring the frequency, the places and the types of uses (on-line administration and electronic commerce) but also the individual skills in computing and Internet.
In addition to a recurring core of questions (equipment, uses), the survey explores a particular topic each year:
- 2009, the online purchase of goods via the Internet.
- 2010, security on the Internet.
- 2011, the computer and internet skills of individuals
- 2012, mobile internet usage.
- 2013, the use of administrative sites.
- 2014, the use of file sharing or storage sites (cloud).
- 2015, internet security
- 2016, confidentiality and privacy
- 2017, the use of e-commerce
Eurostat releases the first weighted results in November of each year. The data are published by Eurostat in the form of tables aggregating the results of the member countries. The data are used by DG Connect in the framework of the Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI).
