In 2020, around 33 percent of children aged between 3 and 17 years had access to the internet at home worldwide. Particularly, East Asia and Pacific and in Eastern Europe and Central Asia were the regions with the highest share of children having internet access in their household, 59 percent.

Between May 2022 and May 2023, the most visited online content category among children worldwide was software, audio, and video. Kids using iOS visited sites in this category most frequently, accounting for 46.49 percent of the total. Internet communication comprised 32.04 percent of kids' online visits via iOS, followed closely by Android at 32 percent, and Windows with just over 30 percent.

The purpose of this study was to conduct content and process evaluations of current internet safety education (ISE) program materials and their use by law enforcement presenters and schools. The study was divided into four sub-projects. First, a systematic review or "meta-synthesis" was conducted to identify effective elements of prevention identified by the research across different youth problem areas such as drug abuse, sex education, smoking prevention, suicide, youth violence, and school failure. The process resulted in the development of a KEEP (Known Elements of Effective Prevention) Checklist. Second, a content analysis was conducted on four of the most well-developed and long-standing youth internet safety curricula: i-SAFE, iKeepSafe, Netsmartz, and Web Wise Kids. Third, a process evaluation was conducted to better understand how internet safety education programs are being implemented. The process evaluation was conducted via national surveys with three different groups of respondents: Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force commanders (N=43), ICAC Task Force presenters (N=91), and a sample of school professionals (N=139). Finally, researchers developed an internet safety education outcome survey focused on online harassment and digital citizenship. The intention for creating and piloting this survey was to provide the field with a research-based tool that can be used in future evaluation and program monitoring efforts.

During a 2019 survey, 96 percent of responding parents of children aged three to 13 years old from Chile stated that their children had access to devices with Internet connection. In 2018, there were nearly 113 internet subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in Chile.

In 2024, the internet usage rate of internet users aged three to nine years was around 92 percent in South Korea. The internet usage rate has overall increased over the years, rising from approximately 88 percent recorded in 2014.

As of March 2020, a survey on parenting in the United States revealed that 86 percent of responding parents of young children said that they limited the time of day or length of time when their could use screens. Additionally, 80 percent of respondents stated that they took away their child's internet or smartphone privileges as punishment.

Between 2015 and 2023, internet usage by teenagers in the United States declined, whereas the share of those who went online constantly almost doubled, from 24 to 46 percent. As of October 2023, the percentage of those using the internet only several times a week or less often was three percent.

According to a survey conducted in the United Kingdom in 2022, 88 percent of teens aged 16 to 17 had been educated about internet safety by their parents, while 79 percent had received education on the subject of online safety from a teacher. Children and teens between the ages of eight and 15 were also most likely to receive this type of information from parents, followed by teachers.

The most common action taken by parents in the European Union (EU) countries to protect children from online harassment was, as of 2019, monitoring the child's internet usage. One fifth said they talked to the child about the risks on the internet.

So much of K-12 education is online these days that high-speed internet is a prerequisite for a successful school year for many children. For children being raised by their grandparents, the generational technology gap can be very wide. Are there other nearby family members or friends they can turn to for internet access? Are areas with high rates of children in the care of grandparents also areas with high rates of children without Broadband internet access?This map shows the relationship between children in the care of grandparents and children with on Broadband internet access at the tract, county, and state levels. Map starts in Los Angeles, and has national coverage. Areas in dark purple are prime locations to build up internet assistance programs for both children and grandparents.This map is multi-scale, with data for states, counties, and tracts. This map uses these hosted feature layers containing the most recent American Community Survey data. These layers are part of ArcGIS Living Atlas, and are updated every year when the American Community Survey releases new estimates, so values in the map always reflect the newest data available.

Between May 2020 and April 2021, approximately 18.23 percent of children in the United States accessed online communications media content. In comparison, almost 35 percent of online children in Egypt accessed communications content online. According to recent industry figures, digital communications was the second-most popular type of content among online children worldwide. This is hardly surprising as millions of schoolchildren worldwide have been forced to stay at home and study remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This dataset is imported from the US Department of Commerce, National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) and its "Data Explorer" site. The underlying data comes from the US Census

1. dataset: Specifies the month and year of the survey as a string, in "Mon YYYY" format. The CPS is a monthly survey, and NTIA periodically sponsors Supplements to that survey.

2. variable: Contains the standardized name of the variable being measured. NTIA identified the availability of similar data across Supplements, and assigned variable names to ease time-series comparisons.

3. description: Provides a concise description of the variable.

4. universe: Specifies the variable representing the universe of persons or households included in the variable's statistics. The specified variable is always included in the file. The only variables lacking universes are isPerson and isHouseholder, as they are themselves the broadest universes measured in the CPS.

5. A large number of *Prop, *PropSE, *Count, and *CountSE columns comprise the remainder of the columns. For each demographic being measured (see below), four statistics are produced, including the estimated proportion of the group for which the variable is true (*Prop), the standard error of that proportion (*PropSE), the estimated number of persons or households in that group for which the variable is true (*Count), and the standard error of that count (*CountSE).

DEMOGRAPHIC CATEGORIES

1. us: The usProp, usPropSE, usCount, and usCountSE columns contain statistics about all persons and households in the universe (which represents the population of the fifty states and the District and Columbia). For example, to see how the prevelance of Internet use by Americans has changed over time, look at the usProp column for each survey's internetUser variable.

2. age: The age category is divided into five ranges: ages 3-14, 15-24, 25-44, 45-64, and 65+. The CPS only includes data on Americans ages 3 and older. Also note that household reference persons must be at least 15 years old, so the age314* columns are blank for household-based variables. Those columns are also blank for person-based variables where the universe is "isAdult" (or a sub-universe of "isAdult"), as the CPS defines adults as persons ages 15 or older. Finally, note that some variables where children are technically in the univese will show zero values for the age314* columns. This occurs in cases where a variable simply cannot be true of a child (e.g. the workInternetUser variable, as the CPS presumes children under 15 are not eligible to work), but the topic of interest is relevant to children (e.g. locations of Internet use).

3. work: Employment status is divided into "Employed," "Unemployed," and "NILF" (Not in the Labor Force). These three categories reflect the official BLS definitions used in official labor force statistics. Note that employment status is only recorded in the CPS for individuals ages 15 and older. As a result, children are excluded from the universe when calculating statistics by work status, even if they are otherwise considered part of the universe for the variable of interest.

4. income: The income category represents annual family income, rather than just an individual person's income. It is divided into five ranges: below $25K, $25K-49,999, $50K-74,999, $75K-99,999, and $100K or more. Statistics by income group are only available in this file for Supplements beginning in 2010; prior to 2010, family income range is available in public use datasets, but is not directly comparable to newer datasets due to the 2010 introduction of the practice of allocating "don't know," "refused," and other responses that result in missing data. Prior to 2010, family income is unkown for approximately 20 percent of persons, while in 2010 the Census Bureau began imputing likely income ranges to replace missing data.

5. education: Educational attainment is divided into "No Diploma," "High School Grad,

In 2018, 35 percent of children between 5 and 11 years old across Russia surfed the internet almost every day of the week. Among those aged 8 to 11 years, only six percent went online less than once a week. The frequency of internet usage increased with a kid's age.

This chart counts the number of unique children for whom a court entered a legal status order during the fiscal year. If a court entered multiple different legal statuses for a child during the fiscal year, the child is only counted once.

A description of the different types of legal statuses is in the CPS glossary.
