In 2019, more than half of the world’s population used the Internet. The largest group of users are those aged under 44, with use equally high among 16 to 24-year-olds and 35 to 44-year-olds. At the global level, one in three children use the Internet (0-18 years). In developing countries, children and young people are leading Internet usage, and it is estimated that over the next five years, this population will more than double. New generations are growing up with the Internet and most are connecting with mobile network technology, especially in the global south.
