<link>http://www.stat.fi/til/sutivi/2005/sutivi_2005_2006-06-12_tie_001_en.html</link>
<description>Around three out of four, or 73 per cent and over 2.8 million of 15 to 74-year-olds used the Internet in spring 2005. An inquiry was made about Internet use during three months preceding the time of the interview. From 2001 the user proportion of the Internet has grown by around twenty percentage points. In relative terms, it has grown most among people aged 60 or over, whose starting level was clearly the lowest. Women have distinctly caught up with men in Internet use, and in the age group of 30 to 49-year-olds more women than men are using the Internet. Of pension-age people men were more often on the Internet than women.</description>
