The Youth Internet Monitor is an initiative of Saferinternet.at and presents current data on social media usage by young people in Austria. It provides data on which social networks are currently popular with young users in Austria, and includes data on trends and gender differences. According to the 2024 edition, the six social networks most used by young people in Austria are, respectively: WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, and Pinterest. In addition, the report covers new social media and discusses the tendency for young people to migrate from one platform to another, especially from larger platforms, to differentiate themselves from other generations.
Methodology
The Youth Internet Monitor is based on an online survey in which 400 children aged 11 to 17 responded to questions about their use of social networks. The survey was carried out by the Institut für Jugendkulturforschung (Institute for Youth Culture Research).
