Type of help for the use of digital tools from which French seniors benefit 2018

With a rising penetration of accessing the Internet through different types of modes in France, especially the older generation benefits from help setting up these technologies. This graph illustrates the proportion of elderly people who received help or training in the use of a smartphone, a computer or the Internet, in France in 2018. Thus, nearly two-thirds of French seniors declared that they had not received any help or training in this area.
However, to a lesser extent, around one in five older people would have received close assistance from their child or grandchild. Nine percent of seniors also stated to have received help from another family member.
