People in Ireland searching and applying for jobs online, by formal education
The European questionnaire on Information and Communication Technologies Data reveals that there exists a disparity between the internet usage of people with a low, medium, and high formal education level. This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.
In 2019, only eight percent of users with low formal education in Ireland responded that they used the internet to search or apply for jobs. Among people with medium formal education the share is 10 percent higher, amounting to 18 percent. According to the survey 23 percent of users in Ireland with a high degree of formal education searched and applied for jobs online.
