Better Internet for Kids

Here, we take an in-depth look at the latest monitoring information for Luxembourg.

According to the Digital Decade 2025: Country reports, Luxembourg is a frontrunner in digital development, with exceptional infrastructure and highly developed digital public services, despite some challenges in business technology uptake. While 60% of the population possesses basic digital skills – above the EU average – the country faces a significant 7% gender gap in digital proficiency and a declining share of women in ICT roles. According to the State of the Digital Decade Eurobarometer 2025, public sentiment strongly supports further digitalisation, with 82% of citizens reporting that it simplifies daily life, yet there is a near-universal demand for public authorities to prioritize child safety, cyberbullying prevention, and the mitigation of online disinformation. Luxembourg has a comprehensive policy framework, including the "Digital Tech Fund" for AI and cybersecurity investment, the "Zesummendigital" platform for digital inclusion, and the national "sécher.digital" action plan to foster a responsible digital culture.

BIK policies

This concerns how national-level policies relevant to the BIK agenda are organised, managed, and supported by evidence and stakeholder input.

Policy frameworks

Policy frameworks describe the overarching goals that shape policies for a better internet for kids. 

In Luxembourg:

• This topic is an important and emerging policy priority partially covered in national/regional laws, regulations and policies.
• There are separate, dedicated policies which address the topic of children and the digital environment (protection, empowerment, and participation).

• The BIK+ strategy is an important influence on policy development on children and the digital environment.

• National/regional policies and policy documents explicitly recognise children's rights in the digital environment.

Policy design

Policy design asks whether evidence and research support BIK-related policies and whether systems are in place for monitoring and evaluating those policies.

In Luxembourg:

• There is a regular (e.g., annual or bi-annual) nationally representative survey specifically focused on children’s digital activity, which informs national policies on BIK topics.
• Regular (e.g., annual or bi-annual) surveys include measures of children’s experiences of risks, harms and digital well-being.
• Information is regularly gathered to inform policies on children and the digital environment. However, this relies primarily on third-party sources, and there are limited opportunities to commission new data on children's digital activity.
• Existing regular national research funding is available for research on children and the digital environment, but this is not explicitly specified.
• Policies are regularly monitored and evaluated, but not always systematically.

Policy governance

Policy governance examines how policies are coordinated at the governmental level, whether other implementation bodies are involved in their delivery and coordination.

In Luxembourg:

• Policy development sits across different ministries with leadership officially distributed according to the area of specialisation.
• Coordination occurs across relevant departments and stakeholdersthrough more informal arrangements.
• There is no action plan available or under development.

Stakeholder involvement

Stakeholder involvement enquires how different stakeholders can participate in policy development.

In Luxembourg:

• There is no structured or recognised mechanism at the government level for stakeholder groups to participate in policy discussion or development. Stakeholder input is absent or excluded from policy-making processes.
• There are no formal mechanisms or practices for consulting the public on BIK topics.
• Children are listened to directly in the policy development process but are not formally involved in decision-making.

BIK+ actions

Pillar 1 – safe digital experiences

Safe digital experiences refer to actions taken to protect children from harmful and illegal online content, conduct, contact, and risks as young consumers and to improve their well-being online through a safe, age-appropriate digital environment created in a way that respects children’s best interests.

Pillar 2 – digital empowerment

Digital empowerment involves actions that ensure all children, including those in vulnerable situations, acquire the necessary skills and competences to make sound choices and to express themselves safely and responsibly in the online environment.

Pillar 3 – active participation, respecting children’s rights

This includes actions that promote young people's active participation and respect for their rights through such activities as fostering innovative and creative safe digital experiences for young people and ensuring they have a say in policies governing the digital environment.

BIK+ index 2026: Luxembourg

The BIK+ index has been developed to provide an aggregated at-a-glance overview of the levels of implementation across the two dimensions, BIK policies and BIK+ actions, in Luxembourg compared to the EU27+2 average. Values are shown in per cent.

Please note, the data used in this page and the corresponding country profile was collected in January 2026.
