Of these Internet users, 24% do all three activities; 26% , two of the three; 30% just one activity and 20% do none. The socio-demographic characteristics that influence the three types of online activities include age, education, occupation, financial situation, home make-up and Internet usage frequency. The youngest groups (15-24 and 25-39) are more likely to participate in all three types of activities, although the youngest buy less online. Internet users with a high level of education, especially those between the ages of 15 and 20, are more committed to these activities than those who do not have a university education.
