(Telecompaper) Around 15 percent of Dutch people are active mobile Twitter users, according to data from the Telecompaper Consumer Panel. Over three-quarters (76%) of Dutch people had access to a smartphone in December 2014. Of these, 24 percent had the Twitter app installed on their device, with 82 percent of these using the app at least once a month. Twitter is used most often from an iPhone: 22 of all smartphones owners in the Netherlands have an iPhone while 31 percent of active Twitter users have an iOS device. No other significant correlations were found with other operating systems. Men (54%) use Twitter more often than women (46%) while schoolchildren and students are avid users. This group makes up 13 percent of the Dutch population and 28 percent of active twitter users. The opposite can be said for retired people. This group makes up 19 percent of the population but only 5 percent of active Twitter users. In terms of age, young people (12-19 yrs) make up 13 percent of the Dutch population and 26 percent of active users of Twitter. For the group of 20-29 year olds, the numbers go to 11 percent and 17 percent respectively. The reverse is again true for the older parts of the population: 50-64-year-olds make up 33 percent of the Dutch population and account for 24 of active Twitter users. The percentages go to 16 percent and 4 percent for 65-80 year olds.
