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.

According to a survey conducted in December 2023, more children than adults worldwide were likely to have access to digital devices. Around 70 percent of kids worldwide had access to laptops, while 67 percent of adults reported the same. The share of children who had a game console was approximately double that of adults. When it came to smartphone use, adults use trends outweighed children's, as 98 percent of adults reported having access to this type of device, compared to 90 percent of kids.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Russian parents considered pornography the main danger of the internet for children aged eight to ten years, named by over 18 percent of respondents in 2019. The major threat that youngest users - aged seven years and below could face on the RuNet, was an aggressive content involving violence and abuse.

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 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,

Abstract This research aimed to analyze the predictive effect of reasons for conflict between parents and children, the interparental conflict and parenting practices for Internet addiction (IA) in young people. The sample consisted of 200 people (152 girls and 48 boys), between 15 and 24 years of age, 85.5% residing in Rio Grande do Sul and 14.5% in other states. Participants individually responded to the protocol available online. Results indicated as predictors conflicts over the internet with the father, the threat of interparental conflict, conflict over the internet with the mother and the practice of parental emotional support. Together, these variables explained 21.2% of Internet addiction. The results corroborate with international studies indicating that family variables investigated have a significant role in predicting the IA, considering that this is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon.

In 2019, men with children spent a little more time on computers and laptops than women: an average of 44.5 hours a month. The younger the child was, the higher the activity of men on these devices.

This study investigated the impact of the World Cerebral Palsy Day (WCPD) campaign on the public interest using Google Trends Analysis data in Brazil. Google Trends was used to collect Relative Search Volume (RSV) data for “cerebral palsy” from 2004 to 2011 (control years) and 2012 to 2022 (WCPD years). RSV during the 4 weeks around WCPD (period of interest) was compared with the rest of the year (control period) in each timeframe. Regional RSV, search queries, and main topics were also investigated. RSV increased by 62.22% from pre-campaign to campaign period. During the WCPD years, a 21.36% RSV increase occurred in campaign weeks, with an average difference of 12.16 (95% CI: 1.74, 22.58); notably in in the last five years in the southeast 9.47 (95% CI: 2.93, 16.01) and south 8.66 (95% CI: 1.66, 15.66) macro-regions. The campaign has fulfilled its role, but targeting more vulnerable areas could further amplify its impact.

Nearly half of the surveyed Danish parents of children in kindergartens stated to always using parental control when their kids were using streaming services, as of 2018. On the other hand, less than a third of the parents used YouTube filtering.

The study focuses on media habits that preschool children develop. The collected data includes the views, opinions and assessments of parents and educators of children aged from 11 months to 6 years old, who are enrolled in the preschool education and care system in Slovenia in 2022, in this field. The authors identified two key environments of influence on the development of preschool children's media habits: home and kindergarten. Two target groups were formed on this basis: parents and educators. The collection of data consisted of a review of relevant literature and existing databases, preparation and testing of a survey questionnaire, acquisition, editing, archiving and analysis of data using descriptive statistics methods, and conclusively a presentation of the results in the form of a final report. Using an online questionnaire, estimates of media and screen exposure timeframes of preschool children and their parents and educators were obtained. Moreover, the attitudes of parents and educators regarding the setting of limits, their observations in the context of health, mood, body weight, aggressiveness, and preschool children’s imitation of heroes were examined. Furthermore, the authors inquired about familiarity with recommendations regarding the use of media for preschool children and precise directions regarding the use of media by the management for educators. A set of questions also referred to the area of respondents’ reflexivity, their own verification of information obtained from various media and their personal trust in the media. It is a repetition of the research from 2016.

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.
