Percent of persons who are users of Internet in the last three months, aged 16 to 74 years.

This indicator highlights the importance of Internet usage as a driver of development and helps measure the digital divide, which, if not adequately addressed, will exacerbate inequalities across all development domains.

Classification variables for individuals using the Internet—such as age, gender, level of education, or labor force status—can help identify the digital divide among Internet users. This information can contribute to the design of targeted policies aimed at bridging these gaps.

For countries that collect data on this indicator through official surveys, this indicator is calculated by dividing the total number of individuals who use the Internet (from any location) in the last 3 months by the total number of individuals in the target population.
