This disparity although present in most countries, differs widely in its severity.

Users with medium or higher education tended to share content online more frequently. According to the survey 22 percent of people with a medium level of formal education and 30 percent of users with a high degree of formal education share self-created content online. The gap between people with lower and higher formal education was seven percent.
