For all of us, the internet is part of our daily lives. So much so that it’s hard to imagine what life would be like without being connected. But not everyone is online. A significant portion of the world’s population is still not online. What percentage of the population has internet access?

ANSWER

60%. According to data from Our World in Data, 4.7 billion people were online in 2020, out of a global population of 7.8 billion that year. But this is changing rapidly: on average, over the past five years, 670,000 people have gone online every day. You can find out more at https://ourworldindata.org/internet
