1、FACTS AND FIGURES ICT 2017 70% OF THE WORLDS YOUTH ARE ONLINE Proportion of youth (15-24) using the Internet, 2017* “This year marks the 25th anniversary of the ITU Telecommunication Development Sector. Over the past two and a half dec- ades, ITU has contributed to the unprec- edented development of

2、 ICTs worldwide and the wider transformation they have brought to society. Our new data show that young people are at the forefront of todays digital economy with 70 per cent of the worlds youth being online. Todays ICT development is driven by the spread of mobile-broadband services. The growth of

3、mobile broadband has largely outpaced that of fixed broadband, while mobile-broadband prices have dropped by 50 per cent on average over the last three years. These factors have resulted in about half of the worlds population get- ting online and broadband services being available at much higher spe

4、eds. As ICTs continue to be a key enabler of economic and social development, ITU has a pivotal role in the global efforts to bridge the digital divide and in fostering an inclusive digital economy. I am confident that the discussions at the World Telecommunication De- velopment Conference 2017, to

5、be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from 9 to 20 October 2017, under the theme of “ICT for Sustainable Development Goals”, will contribute to the mapping of results-ori- ented strategies aimed at hastening the pace of countries towards the timely attainment of the SDGs and their related targets.” Sou

In developed countries, 94% of young people aged 15-24 use the Internet compared with 67% in developing countries and only 30% in L

7、east Developed Countries (LDCs). Out of the 830 million young people who are online, 320 million (39%) are in China and India. Nearly 9 out of 10 young individuals not using the Internet live in Africa or Asia and the Pacific. YOUTH ARE AT THE FOREFRONT OF INTERNET ADOPTION Proportion of individuals

In developed countries, the proportion of households with Internet access at home is twice as high as in developing countries. Only 15% of households in LDCs have Internet access

15、at home. In these countries, many Internet users are accessing the Internet from work, schools and universities or from other shared public connections outside the home.

Despite the high growth rates in developing countries and in LDCs, there are twice as many mobile-broadband subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in developed countries as in developing countries, and four times as many in developed countries as in LDCs. The global number of

26、 fixed-broadband subscriptions has increased by 9% annually in the last five years and 330 million new fixed-broadband subscriptions have been added. Higher growth will be needed to bridge the divide between developed and developing countries: there are 31 fixed broadband subscriptions per 100 inhab
