Only 4.4 per cent of people report using online education over past three months
Students in Ireland have less access to digital resources than in most Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, and only 4.4 per cent of people report using online education over the past three months – well below the average.
“At the same time, digital security risks are low, and very few people in Ireland report having been exposed to disinformation,” the report says.However, Irish 15-year-olds report incidents of cyber bullying “at comparatively high rates and are more likely to use the internet for extreme use”.It says most surveys in this area rely on self-reported information, which face inherent problems as victims may not be willing or able to report.
It also notes the information industries in Ireland contribute significantly to employment, comprising 4 per cent of total employment. It says this is higher than the OECD average, but that the share of computer-based jobs is also associated with higher rates of job stress and worries about work outside of work hours than in other countries.
