Internet pages rather than book pages.
Young French people spend six times more time online than reading, reveals a study published by the National Book Center (CNL) on Wednesday.
But that doesn't mean the younger generation isn't avid reader.
According to this Ipsos survey conducted online among 1,500 young people aged 7 to 25 at the end of January and the beginning of February, the people questioned said they read books 3 hours and 14 minutes a week, and spend 2h50 a day (i.e. 19 hours and 50 minutes a week) on the Internet.
This ratio changes significantly with age.
Among primary pupils, time on the internet is 60% higher.
Among students, it is almost eight times higher.
16% of young people have an aversion to reading
These generations do not compartmentalize their cultural practices.
They read more and more books on mobile phones (medium chosen by 55% of digital book readers).
And when these young people read a book, 47% have another activity (37% send messages, 27% go on social networks, etc.).
“There are still a lot of young people reading.
Overall, 81% of 7-25 year olds read for their leisure for personal taste, “said the CNL in a press release.
But “these rather positive figures should not hide certain difficulties: 16% of young people do not like to read or hate reading”.
Primary students say they have read “for personal taste” 8.4 books on average over the last three months, but middle school students 5.3 and high school students 3.4.
