The EU survey on the use of ICT in households and by individuals is an annual survey conducted since 2002. In Montenegro, it has been conducted since 2011.

In 2025, the survey collects data on the access to information and communication technologies (ICT), on the use of the internet, e-government use of electronic identification (eID) and e-commerce as well as e-skills and privacy and protection of personal data.

10 December 2025

The survey is collecting data of internet users, individuals who have used the internet in the three months prior to the survey. 

This annual survey is used to benchmark ICT-driven developments, both by following developments for core variables over time and by looking in greater depth at other aspects at a specific point in time. While the survey initially concentrated on access and connectivity issues, its scope has subsequently been extended to cover a variety of subjects (for example, the use of internet, e-government, use of eID, e-commerce, e-skills and privacy and protection of personal data) and socio-economic analysis (such as regional diversity, gender specificity, differences in age, education and the employment situation). The scope of the survey with respect to different technologies is also adapted to cover new product groups and means of delivering communication technologies to end-users.

For more details on the methodology applicable in each survey year, please consult the Compiler's Manual for the respective year.

Households and Individuals

In the ICT usage survey, the target population for the different statistical units is:

  • individuals: all individuals aged 16 to 74; optionally 75-to 89.
  • households: all (private) households with at least one member aged 16 to 74; optionally with at least one member aged 75 to 89, but no member aged 16 to 74. 

Target population composed of households and/or individuals:

  • Number of households with at least one member aged 16-74:  199 296
  • Number of individuals aged 16-74:  468 270
  • Number of households with at least one member aged 75 to 89, but no member aged 16 to 74: Not available
  • Number of individuals aged 75-89: Not available

The survey covers the whole territory of Montenegro.

For most questions the reference period is the last three months before the interview. Questions in the modules on e-government and eID refer to the 'last year' before the interview.

Deviation from this statement: The main reference period for the ICT background variables is moment of data collection. For the group of variables reference period is last three months before the interview. For set of the question reference period is last year. 

In ICT usage survey results are based on the sample of population they are subject to the usual types of errors associated with sampling techniques and interviews, such as sampling errors, non-sampling errors, measurement errors, processing errors, and non-response.
