How this measure is built
- Definition
- Percentage of individuals aged 16 to 74 who bought or ordered goods or services over the internet for private use in the last 3 months.
- Measure
- One slice of Online purchases ( counting rule: last 3 months, form: share ) . The proportion or number of individuals who purchased goods or services over the internet for private use. Region and period are columns on every record, not slices.
- Limitations
- Publishers release on different schedules, so the latest period differs by region; compare regions on the same period. Values are shown as published; StatOrigin does not revise, fill gaps or convert currencies.
- Verification
- Each value, unit, period and place was checked against its source evidence before publication. See the methodology and the corrections process.
