Socio-economic impact on the digital child : Preliminary findings from the "Kids, media and socio-demographics 2014/15" report

• This extended abstract presents unique additional data from an upcoming publication in the ongoing project Kids & media (2014/15), conducted by Swedish Media Council (2015). The analysis is based on the findings in the largest quantitative study on children’s media use in Sweden. The study includes 4903 respondents selected from a random sample of all children and parents residing in Sweden. The abstract includes data and analysis dealing with children’s possession of and access to media technology, how they use it and why. Moreover it covers several explorative multivariate analyses of demographic divides covering children’s media use. The demographic analysis assesses the impact of family income, parents’ education levels, and parents’ national background on children’s media possessions and practices. More specifically, this abstract describes the relationship between these socio-demographic variables and children’s access to media technology, extent of media use and self-reflexivity in media activities.
