Abstract

Close to one-fifth of adults living in advanced societies do not use the Internet. Unfortunately, they are also those who might be more likely to benefit from the support of social services. Understanding who are these analog citizens is therefore a crucial task for any government. In this paper we develop a statistical model to capture the demographic profile of Internet usage. We formally consider spatial auto-correlation in order to properly measure the relative impact of age, education, income, gender and geography on the probability of Internet usage. Based on close to 30,000 observations we observe that age is by far the most important demographic determinant of Internet usage. Geography exhibits a significant impact, both complex and completely overshadowed by the age/education/income triad. We then examine three groups in more detail: seniors, dropouts/homeless living in cities, and members of First Nations living in remote communities.
