[Asis-l] Report 'Young People and Emerging Digital Services' published

Dear all [half-hearted apologies for cross posting, please disseminate...]

I have the pleasure to announce that our Scientific report 'Young People and Emerging Digital Services' has been published. It is found at http://ipts.jrc.ec.europa.eu/publications/pub.cfm?id=2119

This study, conducted by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS), presents the results of a four-country survey of young Europeans’ attitudes to digital identity (eID) and future eID-enabled services. 

Based on the opinions of more than five thousand young Europeans, the study demonstrates what aspects of eID and eID services can be measured via a large-scale survey – among them take up, trust, privacy, responsibility, and data control.

The study aims to remedy the lack of EU evidence on eID services perceptions. It is innovative in many respects:
- It focuses on young people [15-25], rather than children or adults;
- It targets multiple EU countries [France, Germany, Spain, UK];
- It works with four large national samples [total number of respondents = 5,265];
- It examines eID service scenarios [4 scenarios];
- It retrieves data relevant to policy making.

Kind regards
