This table establishes the scale of the environment by mapping how deeply integrated social media has become in the daily lives of 15-year-olds across the European Union. 96% of 15-year-olds use social media on a typical weekday, with 37% spending more than 3 hours daily. Social media is no longer an optional activity but a near-universal digital environment for European youth.
