EU Kids Online I detected the necessity for a cross-nationally comparative and reliable research regarding children’s use of the internet. From 2006-2009 the project’s main objective was to collect and process all available data on children’s relationship with online technological means, as well as any opportunities and risky experiences encountered. The 21 participating countries collected and analysed all available data resulting in policy recommendations of children’s safe use of the internet. | EU Kids Online I detected the necessity for a cross-nationally comparative and reliable research regarding children’s use of the internet.

EU Kids online II was a continuation of EU Kids online I, implemented from 2009 until 2011. The aim was to produce a rigorous, cross-national comparative evidence-base regarding internet usage across Europe. Structured face-to-face interviews with children aged 9-16 years old across 20 member states were contacted. For a precise and complete picture of children’s experiences, actions and concerns with regard to online risks and safety parents were also interviewed. | EU Kids online II was a continuation of EU Kids online I, implemented from 2009 until 2011.

CYPRUS belongs to the “Semi-supported risky gamers” group of countries. | |||
Common characteristics of the countries belonging in this cluster are the higher proportion of children in the moderates group of opportunities, but they also have are latively high proportion of intensive gamers and a below average level of young networkers. They have the highest proportion of children in the higher risk/harm group (7%) and average proportions of children in the other risk and harm groups. In this cluster, the group of children whose parents apply restrictive mediation is least frequent compared to other countries, and while children with actively mediating parents are most common, the proportion of children in this group is not higher than average. Other forms of mediation also stay around the average. Countries included in this cluster are mainly from Central and South East Europe. | |||
