This graph shows that among the youngest people (25 to 54 years), the proportions of men and women who used the Internet or e-mail were similar. In this age group, around 80% of men and women had used the Internet. However, in the upper age groups, men are more likely than women to have used the Internet. In 2003, approximately 33% of men between 65 and 74 years of age had used the Internet, as opposed to 22% of women in the same age group.
