We also wanted to knowwhether this learning took place varied accord- ing to respondents’ age. The differences are statistically significant (p < 0.005) but mainly reflect the fact that technology (computer and inter- net) is significant for informal learning, regardless of the age of the re- spondents. The differences are minimal, with the highest proportion (80%) in the 19-24 age group. As our survey shows, young people are vir- tually no longer using the TV or radio for informal learning, with the highest proportion being 4% among 25-29-year-olds. For the other two age categories, this share is negligible. The differences that can be ob- served between young people of different ages are in the category of the use of books, magazines, or newspapers for informal learning purposes – in this case, 15-18-year-olds are slightly less likely to use print media (10%) compared to older demographics. However, the most significant differences can be observed when referring to informal learning sources
