People in Belgium 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 Belgium responded that they used the internet to search or apply for jobs. Among people with medium formal education the share is five percent higher, amounting to 13. According to the survey 15 percent of users in Belgium with a high degree of formal education searched and applied for jobs online.
