The bar chart illustrates the percentage of Internet users in Taiwan in four different age groups between 1998 and 2000.
Overall, people aged 16-30 accounted for the largest proportion of internet users throughout the period, while those aged until 15 represented the smallest percentage. The proportion of older users increased, whereas the figures for the two main age groups gradually declined.
In 1998, 53% of internet users were aged 16-30, making this the largest group. This figure decreased to 45% in 1999 and then to 44% in 2000. Similarly, the percentage of users aged 31-50 fell slightly from 41% in 1998 to 39% in 1999 and 37% in 2000.
By contrast, internet users use among youngest and oldest groups increased. The proportion of users aged under 15 rose from just 2% in 1998 to 8% in 1999, before reaching 9% in 2000. Among people aged 50 or over, the figure doubled from 4% to 8%, and then increased further to 10% in 2000.
