- Definition
- Percentage of individuals aged 10 years and above who report having access to the internet from any location (home, work, school, or via mobile devices), regardless of frequency of use.
- Interpretation
- Higher values indicate broader availability of internet access, but do not necessarily reflect active or meaningful usage. In Zambia, access levels are significantly higher in urban areas compared to rural regions, and disparities are influenced by affordability of devices, data costs, and digital skills. Access without regular use limits the economic and social benefits of connectivity.
- Description
- Measures the proportion of Zambia’s population that has access to the internet, whether through mobile or fixed connections. It reflects the reach of digital connectivity at the individual level and is a key indicator of digital inclusion.
