Occupation

---

Notes:

• As with the Fourth Survey, Educational occupations account for 29.6% of the Web users, with Computer related occupations a close second at 27.8%. This is significant shift from the Third Survey a year ago where Computer related occupations accounted for 31.4% of the users and Educational occupations accounted for 23.7%. Thus, there appears to be a solid migration of non-computer science users, with a strong inflow from the educational sector. Professional and management occupations account for 18.9% and 10.7% respectively.

• European users are more likely to be in an Educational occupation than Computer related (37.0% vs 31.0%).

Notes:

• Female users tend to be primarily involved in Educational occupations (35.5%), with Professional (19.8%) and Computer related (18.2%) occupations following. This is quite a different occupational profile than males, and is supported by the educational attainment and age profiles of females.

• Male users are slightly more likely to be in Computer related (32.2%) occupations than Educational (26.8%), with Professional (18.5%) and Management (11.5%) following.
