Half of Ukrainian children get their first gadget at the age of 6-7 — a Viber survey

Dmytro Dzhugalyk Author of news on Mezha.Media. I write about what I am actively interested in, namely technology, games and cinema.

The Rakuten Viber team conducted a new survey among messenger users to find out whether Ukrainians buy gadgets for their children and at what age. About 29,000 people took part in it.

According to the results, 93% of Ukrainians buy devices for study and leisure, of which 51% buy everything they need — a phone, a laptop, and a tablet. 31% buy a phone to at least be in touch. The results look like this:

  • Yes, the child has everything: both a phone and a laptop / tablet — 51%;
  • A simple phone or an old smartphone to keep in touch — 17%;
  • Only a relatively new smartphone — 14%;
  • Tablet / laptop for studying and gaming — 9%;
  • We don’t buy, the child uses adult gadgets for leisure and learning — 7%;
  • Only a smart watch — 2%.

Respondents also shared the exact age at which children buy their first devices. Almost half of the respondents indicated that their children get their first gadget at the age of 6-7. In general, the responses were divided as follows:

  • Up to 5 years — 12%.
  • 6-7 years — 47%;
  • 8-9 years old — 19%;
  • From 10 years – 22%.
